# ![](resources/logo/32x32.png) ThreadKeeper

ThreadKeeper is an Autodesk® Fusion 360™ add-in that restores [custom thread definitions](https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/fusion-360/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Custom-Threads-in-Fusion-360.html) every time they are removed (i.e. when Fusion 360™ is updated).

Thread definitions to restore are put in the *Threads* directory of ThreadKeeper.

Every time Fusion 360™ starts, ThreadKeeper checks if thread definition files are missing. In that case, the files are restored.
