Thread

The software supplier's feature library contains ready-made threaded library features that you can use to speed up modeling the parts. Thread is a property of a cylindrical face that can, if necessary, be defined for a face selected from a part.

Add an Existing Library Feature to a Part

A threaded library feature is added to a part with a boss or cutout library feature. Select the library feature from the software supplier's feature library. Threaded features are positioned in the same way as other library features.

Defining a Thread

Thread is a property of a cylindrical face. To define a thread, first select a cylindrical face. In the thread properties, you can select, for example, the thread standard and define the thread dimensions. The thread is displayed as a work face in the feature tree of the part, where it can be selected for editing or deleted.

Displaying Thread

A thread is displayed in the shaded model and in the model drawing, where the thread can also be dimensioned.
