Bolt basic properties
|
Option |
Description |
Default |
|---|---|---|
|
Bolt size |
Bolt diameter. |
Available sizes are defined in the bolt assembly catalog. |
|
Bolt standard |

|
|
Thread in mat |
Defines whether the thread may be within the bolted parts when bolts are used with a shaft. This has no effect when full-threaded bolts are used. |
Yes |
Slotted holes
You can define slotted, oversized, or tapped holes.
|
Option |
Description |
Default |
|---|---|---|
|
1 |
Vertical dimension of slotted hole. |
0, which results in a round hole. |
|
2 |
Horizontal dimension of slotted hole, or allowance for oversized holes. |
0, which results in a round hole. |
|
Hole type |
Slotted creates slotted holes. Oversized creates oversized holes. No hole does not create holes. Tapped creates tapped holes. |
|
|
Rotate Slots |
When the hole type is Slotted, this option rotates the slotted holes. |
|
|
Slots in |
Part(s) in which slotted holes are created. The options depend on the component in question. |
Bolt assembly
The selected check boxes define which component objects (bolt, washers, and nuts) are used in the bolt assembly.
If you want to create a hole only, clear all the check boxes.
To modify the bolt assembly in an existing component, select the Effect in modify check box and click Modify.
