Thread
Thread captures generic thread specifications from the drawing. It stores the label as written on the drawing, the quantity called out, the nominal diameter, the thread spacing (as pitch in millimetres and threads per inch), the handedness (left- or right-handed), and the thread depth when specified. A confidence score flags detections that may deserve manual review. 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. Standard-specific variants such as ThreadISOMetric or ThreadUTS extend this base with additional attributes.
