Learn Onshape: Drawing Threads for a Nut & Bolt

I go over how to draw threads in OnShape using a helix and the sweep feature. Drawing threads like this allows you to design threads that you can 3D print. Towards the end of the video I show you how to mate the two parts with a screw relation in the assembly and set limits using the cylindrical mate.
