Creating Threaded Holes

The Thread capability removes material surrounding the hole. All hole types can be threaded. You can create a threaded hole using values previously defined in a file.

You can enter the values of your choice, but you can use standard values or personal values available in files too.

Before you begin:

To perform this task in the Functional Modeling Part workbench, sketch a rectangle in the Sketcher workbench then return to the Functional Modeling Part workbench and create a shellable prism.
