Dialog Field (Keyword) | Type | Label | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Face (SEL_FACE) | Specifies the face used to add the bolt to. Clicking a face automatically derives values for CenterPt and Axis Dir (provided you have not deactivated
Creo Elements/Direct Machining settings). | ||
Center Point (CEN_PNT) | 3D Position | Specifies the center point for the bolt. If the starting face is deleted later by other machining operations, the center point may be left hanging in space. If you click Face and click a point on a face, the center point is derived from this point (provided you have not deactivated
Creo Elements/Direct Machining settings). | |
Axis (AXIS) | 3D Axis (Direction + Position + Up-Direction) | Specifies the axis for the machined hole. If the starting face is deleted later by other machining operations, the center point may be left hanging in space. If you click Face and click a point on a face, the axis is derived normal to this point (providing you have not deactivated
Creo Elements/Direct Machining settings). | |
TAP Units (TAP_UNITS) | Keyword | Currently, the following threads are supported: :METRIC :INCH :BSW :BSF :BSP :UNC :UNF :NPT :PIPE_RP :PIPE_G :TRAPEZOID :FLAT_TRAPEZOID :SAW :ROUND :ROUND_MINING :EDISON :PIPE_JIS_B_0203 :PIPE_Pg :metric_fine The default is metric threads, if you have a metric length unit set; the default is :inch if you have an imperial length unit set. | |
Thread Diameter (THREAD_DIA) | Length | D1 | The nominal diameter of the thread. If you specify a thread diameter smaller than the
bolt diameter, a shoulder will be created. You cannot create this feature with a thread diameter larger than the bolt diameter. |
Thread Pitch (THREAD_SIZE) | Length | The pitch of the thread. | |
ThreadTpi (THREAD_TPI) | Number | Alternative method to specify the pitch of the thread by entering the Thread Per Inch value for all imperial style threads and pipe threads. | |
Starts (THREAD_STARTS) | Number | The number of thread starts. This value has no effect upon the geometrical representation of the threaded hole, but the data is needed for complete specification of the thread in order to create correct manufacturing documents. The default is 1. | |
Direction (THREAD_HAND) | Keyword | The direction of the thread. This value has no effect upon the geometrical representation of the threaded hole, but the data is needed for complete specification of the thread in order to create correct manufacturing documents. The following keywords are possible : :right (the default) :left | |
Nom.PipeDia. (NOMINAL_PIPE_DIA) | Length | The nominal diameter of a pipe thread, which is not the "outer" diameter of the thread. This value has no effect upon the geometrical representation of the threaded hole, but the data is needed for complete specification of the pipe thread in order to create correct manufacturing documents. | |
Bolt Diameter (BOLT_DIA) | TolerancedLength | D2 | The diameter of the bolt to be added. |
Thread Length (THREAD_LENGTH) | TolerancedLength | T1 | The length of the thread. See the
Specify tolerance for further information. |
Total Length (TOTAL_LENGTH) | TolerancedLength | T3 | Specifies the total length of the thread including the clearance allowed for an incomplete thread. See the
Specify tolerance for further information. |
Bolt Length (BOLT_LENGTH) | TolerancedLength | T4 | Specifies the overall length of the bolt. See the
Specify tolerance for further information. |
Chamfer Depth (CHAMFER_DEPTH) | Length | T2 | The depth of the front chamfer measured in direction of the axis. |
Chamfer Angle (CHAMFER_ANGLE) | Angle | The tip angle of chamfer cone. | |
Back Blend Rad (BACK_BLEND_RAD) | Length | R2 | The radius of the blend to be applied at the edges connecting the bolt diameter face and the face the bolt is connected to. |
Shoulder Inner Blend Rad (SHOULDER_INNER_BLEND_RAD) | Length | R1 | The radius of the blend to be applied at the edge connecting the nominal diameter face (clearance) and the shoulder face of the bolt. If the nominal diameter is the same as the bolt diameter, no blend will be created and this value will be set to zero. |
Dia DP (DIA_DP) | The docuplane which should own the diameter related dimensions. If you switch on the variable for the first time within a dialog, the computed defaults will be activated. If you decide not to use the docuplane for the dimensions but want to get a free dimension, switch off the variable. You can reactivate your last value (within the same dialog box) later by switching it on again. | ||
Name (NAME) | String | Specifies the name of the new feature. In case of modify, this name is fixed; to modify the name of a feature, use rename. | |
Flag DP (FLAG_DP) | The docuplane which should own the flag text. If you switch on the variable for the first time within a dialog, the computed defaults will be activated. If you decide not to use the docuplane for the flag text but want to get a free flag text, switch off the variable. You can reactivate your last value (within the same dialog box) later by switching it on again. | ||
Depth DP (DEPTH_DP) | The docuplane which should own the depth related dimensions. If you switch on the variable for the first time within a dialog, the computed defaults will be activated. If you decide not to use the docuplane for the dimensions but want to get a free dimension, switch off the variable. You can reactivate your last value (within the same dialog box) later by switching it on again. |

---|---|---|---|
(THREAD_TPI_NUM) | Non-negative Number | The numerator part of a rational thread per inch value for the thread pitch. This parameter is applicable to :NPT and :UNC type threads. For other type of threads, if a positive value occurs in a customization table, then the numerator value is forced to zero. | |
(THREAD_TPI_DEN) | Positive Number | The denominator part of a rational thread per inch value for the thread pitch. This parameter is applicable to :NPT and :UNC type threads. For other type of threads, if the value in a customization table is greater than one, then the denominator value is forced to one. |

(CHAM_DIA) | Non-negative length | An alternative method to specify the depth of the front chamfer. The chamfer diameter can be measured in the front face of the bolt. | |
(STD_TAP_CLEARANCE) | Positive Number | The difference between the total length and the thread length. | |
