This task shows you how to display and filter
out information about threads and taps contained in a CATPart document. |
![](../icons_C2/common/aprereq.gif) |
Open the ThreadAnalysis.CATPart document. |
|
1. Click the
Tap/Thread Analysis icon
.
The Thread/Tap Analysis dialog box is displayed, providing display
options already checked by default:
![](_themes/v5r5/ul1.gif) | Show symbolic geometry: shows the representations of the threads and
taps in the geometry area. The representation's color can be
customized via the Tools -> Options -> General (Display) command
(you just need to access the Visualization tab and the Selected
elements option). |
![](_themes/v5r5/ul1.gif) | Show numerical value: shows three values defined for threads and
taps as follows: diameter x depth x pitch |
The dialog box also displays the total number of threads and taps
contained in your document. Two threads and one tap have been detected, as
indicated in the Numerical Analysis frame.

2.Click
Apply to display the representations and the values of the threads and tap
contained in the document.
The representations and the values (diameter x depth x pitch) are
displayed in orange and yellow respectively:

Unchecking "Show symbolic
geometry" lets you display numerical values only. In the same way,
unchecking "Show numerical values" lets you display
representations only. |
|
3. Click
More to access display filters. |

4. By
default, the options "Show thread" and "Show tap" are
on. Uncheck "Show thread" to display taps only. |
|
5. Click
Apply to run the analysis.
Only one tap has been detected and is therefore displayed: |

6. Check
"Show thread" again to continue the scenario. |
|
7. Check
the option "Diameter" and enter 70 as the diameter value
in the Value field. |
|
8. Click
Apply.
The application displays only one thread with 70 as diameter value. |
