Is there a tool or a technique that will draw a thread e.g a bolt. In 2d and 3d.
 
Hi Luke,

Sort of, I haven't seen one in 2D but try this for 3D:

First thing to do is download a copy of spiral.lsp if you don't already have it. Draw the 3d sprial, then create your thread profile, v-shape, acme, square whatever, and then extrude your profile along the sprial you just created.

You may have some luck searching or
