mmccall Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 (edited) Make sure that you are really getting what you want when modeling using the "hole" features. You will notice that there are 3 options... in the "threaded options" area. thread transfer thread to drawing transfer callout to drawing... Selecting the thread option applies the thread to the hole... The "transfer thread to drawing"... this option actually re-models the hole size to the proper drill size... if this is not checked.. the modeled hole will simply be the thread nominal size.. .meaning a 1/4 hole will model in as a .25 diameter instead of a .201 drill size... Selecting the "transfer callout to drawing" ... does just that... I wasted some parts on this.. somehow I unchecked the "transfer thread to drawing" option.. and none of my screws worked... HA... scandium is approximately $7000 per pound !!!.... can't afford to do this too often... can you say Helicoil?? Watch out... till then... ROCK ON BABY...

wbrokowski Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Doesn't it bother you that when you transfer the callout for a #10, #8, #6 etc thread to a 2d drawing the callout comes out as a decimal instead of the "#10"? It drives me crazy. They promised to fix this at least 2 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
