Is drawing needed for modeled threads?
P
Hello, I have a modeled anti-backlash lead screw shown in the image below:
My question is: when the thread is already modeled in the CAD file, is it still necessary to include a detailed drawing with the thread’s specification (e.g., pitch, diameter, class) for the manufacturing process? I’ll have my parts procured by an external provider.
