@patrick.rousère: You don't necessarily have to limit yourself to these 2 standards.
Depending on what you are looking for, do not hesitate to snoop around in others. For example, electrical or tube threads (gas/NPT and others).
Personally, I first look in ISO, which is supposed to be the international standard.
@Tous: It is true that normally, it is not necessary to specify the pitch when it comes to the normal pitch but some customers prefer that the pitch be indicated systematically to avoid the risk of forgetfulness or printing problems;
For information:
- A priori you need to have a workstation with a complete Toolbox to be able to configure the file and tap (thank you SW...)
- Beware of the metric thread pitches in ISO and DIN standards in Solidworks: SW has not been screwed up in 20 years to copy the European standards correctly. so on some threads without pitch detail, the pitch used by SW is not the standard pitch of the standard. Most of them don't care because this problem is only on fairly large threads: M33 (drawn in 2 instead of 3.5), M39 (drawn in 2 instead of 4), M45 (drawn in 1.5 instead of 4.5) and M60 (drawn in 1.5 instead of 5.5). If you don't correct the tapping table, you risk ending up with a hole front hole that is way too big (and therefore having a thread that tears off). (there are many RPDs on this subject)
