Creating Thread Representation

You can create a thread representation. You have below choices for selection:

  • A thread or threaded hole feature
  • A thread or threaded hole as technological result
  • The All threads option

The thread representation is made of three constructed geometries:

  • The plane representing the upper limit of the thread.
  • The plane representing the lower limit of the thread.
  • The cylinder representing the thread.
Important: The thread representation display is standard dependant and is automatically updated when you upgrade or modify the annotation set standard.

You can also create a thread representation using the Constructed Geometry Creation command.

See also Constructed Geometry settings.

Before you begin: Open an existing 3D shape containing at least one Part Design or Sheet Metal Design threads or threaded holes with technological result.
Important: Technological results must be generated before creating the thread constructed geometry features on patterned holes.

Creating Constructed Geometry
  1. From the Annotation section of the action bar, click Thread Representation Creation
  2. In the Thread Representation Creation dialog box, select the required threaded faces or holes in the 3D area.

    You can also select the Thread.x node in the tree.

    The Thread Representation Creation dialog box is updated to indicate that the thread representations created for the selected threads.
  3. To create a thread representation for all the threads in 3D shape, select the All threads option.
  4. Click OK to validate.
    The geometrical representation of the threads is displayed in the geometry, and are listed in the tree under the Constructed geometries node.
