• Context-sensitive input dialog and properties panels allow you to constrain a thread body to ISO 261 standards, or switch to custom mode for free-hand entry of diameter, pitch, and taper.
• Also provided by the input dialog and Thread Parameters panel is fully automated implementation of ISO 261 Thread Standard and the ISO 965 Tolerance Class Standard it references.
• Thread Parameters input dialog remembers your MRU (Most Recently Used) thread dimensions, even if you alternate between thread shafts and thread inserts. This makes it easy to produce mating parts in just a few mouse clicks.
• Symmetrical L- and R- handed thread shafts, with mating inserts.
• Both standard and non-standard size and pitch dimensions not offered in Fasteners WB objects.
• Optional bevel or chamfer base for a thread body to allow for different physical attachment scenarios.
• Tapered threads (ie- for NPT standard).
• Global thread enable/disable acts on all ThreadMaker bodies in the active document, so that you can design and model without the delays caused by CPU-intensive helical thread generation. Then, when you are ready to mesh, or print, or otherwise render your project in final form, just hit the thread enable button and go make a nice sandwich while all your threads recompute.
