How to do without the thread to make the MEP readable

3D Design
1

Hello @ All and @ All and dear strong Maouss

I use the thread function from time to time but it has the disadvantage of making the MEP almost unreadable.

So two possibilities:

1°) I don't use the thread function but then how to indicate in the model that there is a thread. (I couldn't find anything other than the thread function)

2°) I make a thread in the model but then how do I do it at the level of the MEP to have a simplified (standardized)  representation of the thread

Note, that in the picture I used the thread function for the outside or for the inside. For the interior, by doing acrobatics, I could use the drilling assistant function, but it won't solve the external thread.

This problem has already been dealt with but I haven't found the thread.  (No, don't tap my head)

Hi @Zozo_mp 

You can use the "Thread Representation" function to add a thread representation to your workpiece.
however if you have 'non-standard' threads you will have to add them to the list via obscure maneuvers in the ToolBox files,

Kind regards

I confirm @Pierre S '  answer for the thread representation, the only real interest of the thread function is for 3D printing.

  @Pierre S and @sbadenis  thank you, colleagues, I'm looking at this more closely and I'll get back to you.

Thank you for your quick reply. ;-)  ;-)

Hello @Zozo_mp indeed, like @Pierre S and  @sbadenis. I would make a copy of the part "with" and "without" the thread, I would use the "without" version for the drawing, with a simple (right-click on the page > annotations >) thread representation. And would use the "with" version for visuals and 3D printing (and machining, depending on the method).

Thank you, it's quite simple

@Pierre S

The question for the MEP is that the fact that the selected part has used the thread representation, does this have an impact on the MEP or do we need to do something more.   

@Sylk I retain the idea of making a version with 3D threading and without.

@sbadenis thank you in this case it's a brass piece made in turning.

Rather than 2 files, I would do 2 configurations.
The representation allows you to have it directly in the MEP without any other manipulation (except for ASM plans where you will have to tell the system to do so).

I even think you can keep the thread representation in the config with 3D thread.

Hello @stefbeno 

I'm going to look at how to make a configuration (I've never done one because I only do single edits).

Thank you!

Same, I'm not at all familiar with configurations, that's why I don't think about this solution. Thank you @stefbeno

Hi all

@Zozo_mp, yes the information of the thread representations follows in the drawings.
This is the same function that the one created in automatic by the drilling assist

Thank you Pierre S |

Now I'm doing RDM I'll tackle the subject tomorrow ;-)

Hello @ Tous et tous et especially à @Pierre S , @sbadenis @Sylk  @stefbeno 

It works very well and it's simple too.

Since it is a four-piece mini ASM, I opted for a version with 3D thread to check the assembly and explain the operation to my customer and the thread representation for the MEP and fab.

Have a good week

Kind regards
