Creo 2.0 Hole tool

[saspinall]

Hi

Never been too much of a fan of the hole tool, always been old school and used a revolve and a cosmetic thread to show internal threaded holes. As our company are now looking at Cad/Cam and MBD, I have started to look at using the threaded hole tool more as the data will then transfer through to further programs we intend to use. However, I'm finding a few flaws with the tool, especially when trying to insert a threaded hole through the od to the id of a cylindrical part, it will not allow me to simply say that the thread is a through thread, it always gives me a depth of thread. We are on quite an old version of Creo, being Creo 2.0 M110

It works in Creo 4. Those 1 and 2 earlier versions seemed a bit balky to me. Things are definitely nailed down better in 4.

I could be wrong since I don't use the thread too either but i think you need a through hole to use a through thread.

I have a copy of Creo 4.0 on my laptop, will have a go at that, cheers
