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

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
Mechanical Engineer.

There is not, but you can use the specs in the Hole Wizard to help you out.  Check the Help for the Hole Wizard Feature.

Thanks guys.

I am a Solidworks newbie and thought there may be a way to do it and I just didn't know how. bigsmile

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. surprise

Eltron, thanks a lot as well.

This is what separates "designers" from "modellers".  You should go to a trusted source like Machinery's Handbook or an existing manufacturing spec or procedure for this information.

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