Reusable pocket thread

[bbylls]

In the reusable pocket dialog box, there is a check box "Threaded Hole for End Body"
Is this supposed to automatically add a thread if required?
If so, how does it work, and what is required to make it work?
Thank you.

Yes, that's what it's for.

I'm not sure what you mean by "how does it work". I assume that you're placing a fastener from the Machinery Library and that you've selected a location to place the hole while in the context of an Assembly where there are multiple parts being joined together. If you've already selected a fastener and selected a location this option will indicate that the last component in the 'stack', starting with where the fastener was placed, will have a threaded hole instead of a clearance hole.

John,
Not using the Machinery Library, but sounds like something to investigate.
I have a screw from the MW standard parts that I have been using (after some modification) and wondered if it would work with this.
Thanks.

This function was designed to work with the Machinery Library, or user-developed parts which have been made to work the way Machinery Library parts work.
