Cosmetic tread

[ppreś]

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.

Hope the above helps.

Regards

How did you opened that file? Which program did you use?

[StephenW]

It's just a text file, you can open it with any text editor. Notepad for example.

Notepad and Wordpad... Am I missing something?

[mbonka]

Notepad doesn´t work for me.

Use Wordpad and make your window as wide as possible.

If you want to step it up a level, try using Notepad++,  it is a great text editor that I have been using for quite some time.

DITTO HERE ON NOTEPAD ++

[rubenvillarreal]

It works, thanks!

[StephenW]

My mistake, I was thinking of another file. You can use EXCEL and open, use "space" as your delimiter.

[StephenW]

Or like Milan, wordpad works, you may have to rotate your paper and turn off word wrap.

Hello,

you can use any text editor, but i prefer to use Notepad++. See link:Notepad++ Home

The "messy" picture you show is actually also the laypout in my file the first time i opened it :-(. So i had to use tabulator to arrange it so it looked nice.

But Notepad++ i prefer also because it remembers all the text files you have had opened, so you dont have to look for them anymore (unless you really edit a lot of text files i guess). See in red below.

Tabulator?  Where would one find that in Notepad++?

Hello,

Thanks for your help. I have to change file with hole parameters like you.

Be sure to back up those files or move them elsewhere and point to them with a configuration option (assuming there is one).

It is too easy to loose customized files on Creo release updates if they are buried in the Creo folder structure.

Desired config options:

hole_parameter_file_path

That's the one, thanks
