Both 2D and 3D tapped holes are available. The 3D tapped hole is a solid object that can be subtracted from any other solid object to create accurate 3D models of molds, dies, and many other machine parts (see Converting to Generic Solids).
To insert a tapped hole:
1. Click the desired Hole - Tapped inch or metric tool from the Detailing tool set.
2. Click to place the object in the drawing, and click again to set the object’s rotation. If this is the first time the object is placed in the drawing, an object properties dialog box opens. These parameters apply to subsequently created objects; they can be changed later by accessing them from the Object Info palette.
3. Specify the object’s properties and click OK.
Click to show/hide the parameters.
