I am an absolute beginner with CAD. I am trying to model a bolt and nut so that I can test it failing under various condidtions. I Have been following this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyMfcRl71do which is very useful, although I only have a student account. Just as I was about to get to putting the thredad on my bolt, the video at 14.53 tells me to open a file called unf_external_thread_profile. Which I dont have. Can anyone help me with this?
Also I have built the bolt so far need to convert it from inces to mm, is this possible.
Sorry to ask such basic questions, but like I say this is my very first time using CAD.
Cheers

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Marcus,
For threads on a bolt, there are a couple options:
Either of those options would allow you to test the strength of the bolt in Creo.
To change units, go to File>Prepare>Model Properties. To the right of Units, click change. This will allow you to change the units to whatever system you want.

Chris
