In element info, you can change the diameter, value, angle and the settings of the inner thread yourself, or convert it into an ellipse or an outer thread. Select an inner thread, then choose Element > Element info.

You can perform changes by making entries in the respective fields or by making selections from the pop-up menus. These changes will be displayed roughly in the preview box at the upper right.

The entry fields for diameter, ellipse value and angle are the same as those for the ellipse (refer to Ellipse).

You can use this field to set the depth of the thread turns. If the threaded bore is filled completely with thread turns, the Full box is checked. If you deselect this box by clicking it, you can enter a value of your choice for the thread depth. Entries which are either too large or too small are corrected accordingly. You can restore the Full option by clicking the empty box.

This field can be used to enter the distance between the thread turns. If the Auto box is selected, the distance is set using the Threads preferences (see Preferences). If you clear Auto, you can enter a value of your choice for Distance.

The pop-up menu at the top of the dialog box allows you to convert the inner thread into either an outer thread or an ellipse and to edit it as necessary without quitting the dialog box. The Element info dialog box changes accordingly (see Ellipse and Outer Thread).

You can confirm your entries by clicking OK. Clicking the Cancel button quits the dialog box without applying any changes you have made.
