Thread
Thread
captures generic thread specifications from the drawing. It stores the thread designation, pitch, direction, class of fit, and any notes about plating or sealing. The model links to associated features, such as holes or shafts, and records whether the thread is internal or external. With this information, manufacturing software can select tooling, verify compatibility with fasteners, or estimate machining time. The structured representation also aids inspection and procurement by highlighting critical threaded features across the document and supports analytics that group components by thread family or tolerance class, feeding change-detection dashboards and compliance reports for regulated products while informing stocking strategies for fasteners.
