So it seems these options are there for no reason and don't work. I tried the mentioned solution and I get a message "Drawind Manager thread representations are generated correctly only when Tapped Hole Diameter is set to "Minor".", this message appears to any option other than "Minor". Hi, I have the need to display threaded holes as the tap diameter not minor diameter. That setting is there specifically so that those that want threaded holes (placed using the hole tool) can change the "as modeled" size to be either minor or major or tapped drill,etc. It can't get any "more straight forward" than that. modeling tabĪnd see the "tapped hole diameter" section.Ĭhange it to "tap drill" and you will get your 7mm hole. Go to " Tools.application options.document settings. The solution of making a 7mm hole and then apply a thread on it also works indeed, I was just wondering if there were a "more straight forward" solution. That is the reason why I need to represent it on my model.

Is there another reason you want this 7mm diameter 7mm is the one used from the manufacturer and this diameter is also functional for us in term of internal volume. You could also just sketch a 7mm diameter circle and extrude/cut then use the thread tool to apply the M8 thread.

Change it to "tap drill" and you will get your 7mm hole. modeling tap and see the "tapped hole diameter" section. You do that in "Tools.application options.document settings. If you need it to be 7mm because you are using this file to import directly into a CAM program or using it with HSM CAM program then you can change Inventor to use the "tap drill" size for the hole instead of the "minor" diameter. Thank you for your are a few things that would help you guys out.Īnd neither involves editing the excel sheet because you don't need to as the information is correct. Something like choosing a value in Inventor within the range predefined in the Excel. Is there any other "more beautitful" way to do that without modifying the Min value in the Excel?
