Creating Threads and Taps

Thread/Tap lets you create threads and taps on a cylindrical element.

Before you begin: Create a cutout on a cylindrical sketch.
  1. In the Lateral Face box, select the cylindrical surface.

    Do not select an outer lateral face.

  2. In the Limit Face box, select the face up to which the thread should be created.
    Important: Limiting faces must be planar.


  3. Define the standard.
  4. Enter a value for the diameter and the depth or use the handles in the 3D area.
  5. In the Pitch box, enter a value to define the distance between each crest.
  6. To define the side of the tap, select either Right-Threaded or Left-Threaded.
