Showing Threads and dimensioning them
Showing Threads and dimensioning them
(OP)
I'm using the Blind Hole command in Content 3D to create a M5 threaded blind hole. Problem is, when I view it in flat shaded, gourand shaded, etc I cannot actually see the threads. Why not?
Even more of a problem when I create a layout of this part, it will need show the dimensions of the metric thread? How do I show these dimension labels?
Sorry, if I'm not description enough. First time into threads. Any help or suggestions would be great.
Thanks,
Devin

RE: Showing Threads and dimensioning them
Does this help, or should I tell you more?
RE: Showing Threads and dimensioning them
Please tell me more about dimensioning them. I understand the conventional representations. How do I go about dimensioning using a leader so my machinists can get the specifications from my printout?
RE: Showing Threads and dimensioning them
such as "1/4-20 UN-2B". Of course special threads require special notes, or may require an enlarged scrap view with dimensions.

Note: This sometimes only works BEFORE you create the part.
Set the views for standard parts here. This works in MD6, I think it works in MD5 as well.
