Is there a way for Sldworks to tell me, what thread to use for a hole
Is there a way for Sldworks to tell me, what thread to use for a hole
(OP)
Hi,
Newbie here. I have a swept boss using the 'thin feature' and I'm trying to add a thread to the inner diameter. Now of course, I can look up a handbook and put a note in the Cosmetic thread section but that's not my question.
My question is, is there a feature similar to "THREAD" in Autodesk Inventor that automatically tells me the thread required ?
Thanks,
Arun

I am a Solidworks newbie and thought there may be a way to do it and I just didn't know how.
Fcsuper, yes we should tell this to SW. How do we do that ? Do they actually listen to customers, this is strange for someone like me who's been with Autodesk Inventor for so long.
Eltron, thanks a lot as well.

The monkeys that write SW know precious little about actual mechanical things. It would be foolhardy to trust them blindly.
