Hello,

I wonder how to make cosmetic thread larger that M68 - M100x2 for instance. According to ISO standard M68 is the largest thread thawas defined in Creo Parametric 2.0

Can you give me some guidelines?

Best Regards

Hello,

i have had some problems regarding this specific issue. I think the ISO hole table provided by PTC is much to detailed when is comes to odd diameters and pitch of threads. When trying to find the correct thread i need i have to scroll a lot in the drop down menu. So the solution for me was to make my own hole table, which i call ISO_REGULAR. Here i only show the data of threads i use the most. I just added a M88x2 and M100x2 to test it. They are marked by red below. The hole table file is placed, on my installation, at: .....\Creo 2.0\Common Files\M120\text\hole

When using the hole feature i select the hole table name "ISO_REGULAR" and scroll to the right thread type. See below.
