Assembly Issue in Autodesk Inventor

Dear Inventor,

I am an Autodesk Inventor user, and I am seeking advice to resolve an issue related to 3D modeling. Currently, I am facing challenges in identifying thread compatibility problems between two interconnected parts. The primary concern is that the two threads connecting each other have different dimensions.

To illustrate the problem, let's consider a situation where one part is intended to have an M45x2 thread, while its corresponding counterpart has been mistakenly designed with an M45x4.5 thread.

We would greatly appreciate your insights and recommendations on effective methods for detecting and addressing thread-related errors in parts. Specifically, we are interested in techniques that can be applied during the creation of assembly drawings.

Thank you for your valuable assistance.

Do you need to use the different threads in other places? If your parts always use particular diameter threads with the same pitch each time, you can create "Presets" in the hole creation dialogue & ensure that all of your users stick to them.

Using the "Bolted Connection" tool in assemblies (Design tab) can set all threads to match at once.
But the most robust way to ensure this would be through iLogic or specific plugins that can check hole alignment and match:
