Operation > Thread |
This operation allows you to create cosmetic threads on cylindrical and conical faces of a 3D model. Such a thread is called cosmetic because when the command is launched, a texture is applied to the selected face, depicting the thread, taking into account the specified boundaries and values of the step and direction. Unlike a thread created using the Spiral operation, this operation does not create a complex geometric surface and does not require a lot of time when creating and recalculating the model. When creating 2D projections, the system automatically creates graphic lines corresponding to the applied thread. When drawing up a drawing, dimensions attached to such graphic lines will display a thread symbol. When creating drawings, this type of thread will also be displayed in projections. In addition, the thread type is displayed in the model tree opposite the created Thread operation, for example, Thread_5 [M14x1.5].
The parameters for standard threads are contained in the Treads.xml file, which is located in the Program folder.
The command is also available from the context menu when a cylindrical or conical face is selected (Create > Thread). In this case, when the command is called, the bearing face is considered to be already selected.
