ThreadKeeper is an Autodesk® Fusion add-in that restores custom thread definitions every time they are removed (i.e. when Fusion is updated).
Thread definitions to restore are put in the Threads directory of ThreadKeeper.
Every time Fusion starts, ThreadKeeper checks if thread definition files are missing. In that case, the files are restored.
- Windows
- Mac OS
Download the add-in from the Releases page.
Unpack it into API\AddIns (see How to install an add-in or script in Fusion 360).
Make sure the directory is named ThreadKeeper, with no suffix.
Start by storing thread definitions inside ThreadKeeper's threads directory. Open the directory by clicking UTILITIES -> THREADKEEPER -> Open ThreadKeeper directory.
If you already have thread definitions added to Fusion that you want to keep, open the Fusion threads directory and copy them to ThreadKeeper's threads directory.
Note that the files in ThreadKeeper's directory can be stored in a nested fashion (i.e. inside multiple directories). Note, however, that the file structure will be flattened when copied to the Fusion threads directory.
ThreadKeeper will sync the files every time Fusion starts
To copy the files to Fusion directly, click Force sync.
To change which directory where threads are stored within ThreadKeeper, click Change ThreadKeeper directory....
The add-in can be temporarily disabled using the Scripts and Add-ins dialog. Press Shift+S in Fusion and go to the Add-Ins tab.
This add-in does not contain any thread definitions.
You can either create custom definitions yourself. See Creating custom threads and thread standards in Fusion 360.
You can also download definitions that others have made.
Examples:
None.
