Fit Boltings (3-D)

3-D Standard > Standard Parts > New bolting

The dialogue for the fitting of boltings begins as soon as you click OK to end one of the tabs of the Bolting dialogue window.

Now proceed as follows:

Identify the parts that you want to be bolted together.
Use the middle mouse button to end the selection.
The Grid window opens. Choose the fitting type:

		Point Individual fitting. The bolt is fitted perpendicularly into the processing plane opposite the z-axis.
		Linear grid Multiple fitting, linearly arranged
		Linear grid, between 2 points Multiple fitting, linearly arranged between 2 points
		Polar grid Multiple fitting, arranged circularly in the fitting plane

Enter the required parameters.
Specify the fitting position. Note that the position of the bolting depends on the reference plane which you have chosen in the bolting settings!

Left: Fitting point for reference plane: Upper edge, Right: Fitting point for reference plane: Countersink

Bolting on a polar grid

Please note:

The components of a bolting are combined in an assembly called BOLTING. Whether this assembly will be created as a main assembly or sub-assembly depends on the specified settings for boltings.
In the centre of the bolting representation (i.e. the BOLTING assembly), an isolated point is created, enabling a direct identification of the bolting.
Before specifying the fitting position, you can right-click to open a context menu. The functions of this context menu enable you, for example, to change the fitting direction or the reference point of the bolting.
When bolting referenced parts together, the link between bore and bolting will be removed. In this case an appropriate system message will be issued. When changing the bolting subsequently you need to adjust the bores manually!

Notes on DIN EN 14399

The tables for the bolts according to DIN EN 14399 contain a column called SET for the set identification. If a text, e.g. Set, has been entered there, the nut will not be BOM-relevant when inserting a bolting set according to DIN EN 14399. In this case, the set ID in the Article number will be considered, for the BOM e.g. Set EN 14399...... , as otherwise only the bolt would be supplied.

If you clear the SET column in the Catalogue Editor, the nuts will be become BOM-relevant as well.
