Redundant thread selection.

[jmartzig]

so i have a bunch of studs in my enclosure, and they have to be threaded, so everytime i have to hit the thread button. is there any way to choose a bunch of these at once, and THEN make them threaded? -Joe

A workaround to say the least but how about just
applying the threads to one and calling out the # on the IDW?

Studs won't pattern nicely?

[Anonymous]

I would assume so but what if it's not a nice
pattern?

Studs

[A_Friske]

Well then my idea won't work then, would it? 😉

I suspected I was pointing out the obvious, I just wanted to make sure he considered it as an option.

[jmartzig]

yeah, i thought bout that - ugly pattern. -joe

[Anonymous]

I'm assuming here.....

The studs are separate parts, just like in real life. You would be
inserting them into a sheet metal enclosure weldment iam. Don't create
them as a feature.

If they are all instances of the same part, then threadiing one would
do the job on the rest.
