Gas thread on plan

2D plans Sizing
1

Hello

 

I am trying to show on the plan of a part the dimension of the gas thread.

I should point out that in the 3D I used the "drilling assistant" function, and chose the ISO standard, type "tapped hole for straight pipes", size "G3/8".

 

But on the map it's "M16.66" that appears when I take this odd. How do I make "G3/8" appear automatically?

 

For the moment I replace in the property manager, but if I change this diameter in the 3D the plan will not follow automatically, which is a source of error.

 

Kind regards

 

Gabriel

Try the "Symbol for Drilling" Dimensioning Tool

Hello

You must select Symbol for drilling instead of Profile for drilling assistance

if I'm not mistaken, there isn't one, you have to rate it on your 3D and link the references

Hello

Right-click on the thread representation and insert symbol.

It works without a problem.

See you.

No way to rate the thread with "Symboel of drilling" (I just tried).

 

On the other hand, SW's help gives this:

 

 

  1. If you are attaching a drill symbol to an ANSI tapped hole in inches, and the drawing units in use are in millimeters, the hole diameter and drilling depth are shown in mm. The thread description retains the ANSI designation in inches. You can replace the thread description with other variables in the Symbol Variables dialog box.

It may be the beginning of the track but I think it's all about the options.

In the attached screenshot, I circled the options that seem to me to be in question.

 

I'll come back if I can find the solution.

Thank you for your answer.

 

On the other hand, I can't use it on a section, although it works very well on a simple view.

I tried to "cheat" by copying "<hw-threaddesc>" in one of the dimensions of the hole but without success.

I didn't know the "insert symbol" function, it's what I need.

 

Thank you for your help.

Dimensioning tool/Replace primary value/Dimension text Write 3/4 Close dimension The dimension of 3/4 is on the plan See attached image

The major disadvantage of this method is that if you change the size of the tapped hole in the 3D, your drawing does not follow, and there is a big risk of error...

Hi @ benoit

The 3/4 is basically an English step, why keep the ISO standard and not do it via the English morme for this type of tapping?

Why I took this option to rename the rating in my example

since it is in metric for the quotations

Thank you for all these answers, the 3 solutions work: 

- Right-click on the thread representation and insert symbol.

- Try the "Symbol for Drilling" quotation tool

- You have to select Symbol for drilling instead of Profile for drilling assistance
