To Create Standard Cosmetic Threads
1. Click > > 
Cosmetic Thread. The Thread tab opens.
Cosmetic Thread. The Thread tab opens.2. Click 
Standard Thread to use standard series and diameter.
Standard Thread to use standard series and diameter.3. To select a surface to thread, click the Placement tab, click the Threaded surface collector, and then select a surface.
4. To select the thread series, under Hole/Thread, next to 
Thread, select a series:
Thread, select a series:◦ For cylindrical standard cosmetic threads:
▪ UNC (Unified Coarse Thread) or UNF (Unified Fine Thread) —Sets the number of threads per inch and the Imperial system of measurement.
▪ ISO (International Organization for Standardization )—Sets the pitch and the metric system.
◦ For conical standard cosmetic threads:
▪ NPT (National Pipe Thread Taper) or NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel)—Sets the number of threads per inch and the Imperial system of measurement.
▪ ISO_7 (International Organization for Standardization )—Sets the pitch and the metric system.
5. To select the thread size, under Hole/Thread, next to 
Thread size, select a size.
Thread size, select a size.6. To define the start of the thread, perform one of these actions:
◦ On the Thread tab, under Depth, click the 
Starting surface collector, and select a reference (plane, surface, or quilt).
Starting surface collector, and select a reference (plane, surface, or quilt).◦ Click the Depth tab, click the Start thread from collector, and then select a reference (plane, surface, or quilt).
An arrow appears indicating the direction of the thread creation.
7. To flip the thread to the other side of the start reference, click 
on the Thread tab.
on the Thread tab.8. For cylindrical threads, to set the thread depth (distance from the start reference), on the Thread tab, next to Depth, select one of the following options:
◦ 
Blind. Type a depth value in the box.
Blind. Type a depth value in the box.◦ 
To Reference. Select a surface, plane, curve, axis, vertex, point, or quilt at which to end the threading.
