Fitting Standard Parts (2-D)

2-D Part > Standard Parts

The procedure for fitting standard parts is the same for the following functions:

• Bores, Countersinks, Threads
• Boltings
• Shaft elements
• Springs
• Pneumatic cylinders
• Hydraulic connections

There are minor differences in the selection, depending on the complexity of the standard products. The standard part is subordinate to the active part.

You use the catalogue editor to define the parameters, the fitting priority and the material selection. Please read the information in the Online Help chapter for the Catalogue Editor (CATEDITOR.EXE in the HiCAD EXE directory).

Invalid or replaced standards are identified in the selection window by the symbol.

Standard parts which are highlighted yellow-green in the right selection window are linked to HELiOS part master attributes via the Catalogue Editor (CATEDITOR.EXE). For further information, please refer to the Catalogue Editor Online Help chapter

Example of using the Bore function to insert a hole:

1. Activate the function.

The selection window containing the bolt types (cylinder head bolts, countersunk bolts, ...) opens. It is represented as a tree structure as is customary in Windows.

2. Select the Hexagon bolts folder and then one of the standards.

The right-hand window contains all available standardized bolts.

3. Select a dimension and click OK.

The fitting mask is displayed.

4. Specify the view you require (side view, top view).

The fitting direction is indicated by an arrow.

5. Choose the fitting direction or specify a fitting angle.
6. Click OK to confirm your entries.

The standard part is displayed visibly at the cursor.

7. Identify an insertion point/fitting point in the drawing.

After fitting, the standard part is made available again for fitting. You terminate the insertion operation with a right-click and can now choose between the following functions

• New variant
  The menu containing the holes is displayed again
• New angle/length
  The input mask appears.

You end the function by double-clicking the right mouse button.

Once the standard part has been identified, the corresponding DIN series are displayed. You can now select a new standard part and then re-define the fitting direction and the fitting point.
