external thread

[Salcip]

Hello everyone, I need to make an external thread on the edge of a tree. However I can't figure out how the feature threads work, or I can't really figure out what they do when I click on preview.
does thread + drain throat or do I have to make it later with a proper sketch?

Hi.

the thread feature does not change the 3d, but only assigns parameters that are recognized and used during table setting for construction indications. . .

if you need an exhaust throat, make it on 3d and assign the thread length to the throat itself.

when you run the 2d you can share everything smoothly.

Usually the thread is colored of yellow, just to distinguish it since it is not visible aesthetically

Hello, first of all thank you for the answer, I have another couple of questions.
1)the discharge throat in the 3d I realize it according to norms, or do it by hand, and then specific the norm in the 2d?
(2) on:

Usually the thread is colored of yellow, just to distinguish it since it is not visible aesthetically

Should this yellow color be displayed in 3d? if you can ask what setting you have activated to have this graphic effect? Unfortunately to me there is no coloring and in some assemblies with many parts it is very uncomfortable to control through the tree.

Hi.
01) I think it is preferable that you carry out the throat in 3d according to the norm and the quoti accordingly on the 2d (better to avoid that those who build the piece should track the legislation with the possibility of not finding it or applying it incorrectly.
02) nothing is activated, you have to color it while creating the feature. if you do a search on the forum, find a macro (I think it's called thread color), which recognizes the feature thread and color of yellow (the affected surfaces) making them visible on the 3d
