DesignSeries00012.pngTapped Holes

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 Subtract Solids).

To insert a tapped hole:

  1. Click the desired Hole - Tapped inch or metric tool from the Detailing tool set.

  2. Multiple drilled and tapped hole tools share the same position on the tool set. Click and hold the mouse on the visible tool to open the Pop-out Tools list and select the desired tool.

  3. Click to place the object in the drawing, and click again to set the rotation.

The first time you use the tool in a file, a properties dialog box opens. Set the default properties, and click OK. The properties can be edited from the Object Info palette.
