Missing Screw Size in Full Version

[kboyle]

We do not see and #10-32 screws in the menu. Are there no ANSI fine thread screws? Please advise.

Hi Keith,

in the standard library this size is available in the HoloKrome catalog only.

In the full version you simply can add the sizes you need.

You can customize the dat files in the folder "<Creo3>\Common Files\afx\parts\screws_and_pins\...."

I have customized the file "...\screws_and_pins\screws\inch\hexsocketscrew.dat".

In line 249 I have added a new instance with the size #10-32 x 10

In the Screw Fastener Definition Dialog you now can select the new size.

Thank you Oliver! I think the Holo-Krome section is one we overlooked as we were mainly looking at inch and ANSI. The Holo-Krome family will actually work great.
