Thread dimensions based on top views and side views
Thread dimensions properties based on top views and side views can be created either
automatically or manually depending on whether a thread dimension or
a standard has been specified in your 3D document. For more information about specifying threads in 3D holes, see Part Design User's Guide: Working with Holes: Creating
Threaded Holes.
The following table summarizes information about thread
dimensions and thread diameter dimensions computing based on top views and side views.
| No thread in the 3D Document |
|---|
| A Standard Thread type has been defined
in the 3D document - The thread dimension has been created interactively
from a 2D thread which does not point a 3D thread. |
| Dimension creation |
- The dimension value is set according to the diameter of
the 2D thread.
- The key M is set as a prefix on the dimension.
|
| Dimension update behavior |
- Only the dimension value is updated.
|
| Modification of dimension properties |
- All dimension modifications are kept.
- The M prefix can be removed or replaced by an
other.
|
| Standard Thread type defined
in the 3D Document |
|---|
| A Standard Thread type has been defined
in the 3D document - The Thread option is checked so a 2D thread is
automatically generated or has been created from a 2D thread which
points a 3D thread. |
| Dimension creation |
- The dimension value is the description of the 3D thread.
|
| Dimension update behavior |
- If the 3D standard has been changed, this change is taken
into account when updating the dimension.
- If the 3D standard is removed, the value of the dimension
is the thread diameter and a diameter prefix is added.
|
| Modification of dimension properties |
- All dimension modifications are kept when the 3D dimensions
are updated.
|
| Standard Thread type not defined
in the 3D Document |
|---|
| A Standard Thread type has not been
defined in the 3D document - The Thread option is checked so a 2D thread
is automatically generated or has been created from a 2D thread
which points a 3D thread. |
| Dimension creation |
- The dimension value is set according to the 3D diameter.
- The diameter symbol is set as a prefix on the dimension.
|
| Dimension update behavior |
- Only the dimension value will be updated.
- If a 3D standard is added to the 3D thread, the value of
the dimension is the thread description.
|
| Modification of dimension properties |
- All dimension modifications are kept when updating the dimension.
