stevsmith Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I need to make a male m8 tapped thread on the bottom of a 14dia pin. What is the best way to do this? I dont like the fact that you can do a female thread using the hole editor and there is no "easy format" wizard for male threads. sw-2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevsmith Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thanks for that post, Ive popped it into my menu. Am I to understand that this is just, as it describes, for "cosmetic" purposes. When I try to use the call off command in the drawing editor it only displays the diameter and not the metric value. Do i have to enter this in manually? :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I think you have to type in the specification when you create it (I don't recall). Check and see if that is part of the dialog box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevsmith Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 ARRRGGGGHHH. I cant find it. Ive managed to alter the attributes, when i hover over the thread on the drawing the cursor changes to display the m8 thread text. I will get it!! eventually.
