For threads:

First, make a cylindrical extrusion (extrude a circle with diameter of the inner part of the thread, or the small diameter)
create a helix by using threads per inch to define the pitch (threads per inch should be given)
make a triangle on the front plane with the correct dimensions

make sure the midpoint of the lower segment of the triangle is on the beginning of the helix

go to loft and loft that mofo and you're done

now its just the same for a nut, but you work with the inside.

i have ptitch and everything...this thing has a pitch of .2 inch.....so i extruded the circle and i need to draw triangles on the surface of the cylinder?
