Boltings

New bolting

2-D Part > Standard Parts > Bolting

You use this function to bolt two or more main parts or sub-parts to one another.

1. Identify a point (1) from which all parts can be bored.
2. Then identify the bolting end (2).

If you do not want all parts between the point for the fitting direction and the bolting end to be bored, you can select specific parts. Otherwise, you can right-click to access the selection menu for bolt connections.

3. Identify the parts to be bolted (3) (4).

(1) Point for insertion direction, (2) bolting end, (3) Processing start, (4) Processing end, (5) Fitting point

4. Now right-click to activate the selection menu for bolt connections.

The Bolting menu has three tabs:

Parts: Here, you select the bolting components.

Options: Here, you can specify a bolt projection length (for a bolt with nut) and a minimum bolt depth.

Settings: On the third tab, you can predefine frequently required bolt connections and save them as templates.

5. On the first tab, activate the standard parts and click OK to confirm.

The standard part is displayed at the cursor.

6. Identify a fitting point (5) in the drawing.

After inserting a bolting, you can insert other boltings without exiting the menu. The selected bolting is displayed again at the cursor, and you can specify a new fitting point. You can repeat this an unlimited number of times. Right-click to end the process.
