Pipe thread definition for holes. 1

[BigMike1970]

I want to add NPT pipe thread definitions to my standards in V5R18. I have tried to add UNC and UNF.txt's in my standards with no luck.

I have copied this in notepad and put it in my standards. When I try to apply the NPT definitions to a threaded hole it shows nothing in the thread description. Is there a certain way the .txt needs to be wrote out? Is it a problem that units are set to mm? I believe that it would auto change from inch to mm but I'm not sure.

I just copied from catblog...see also the picture.

Place text files in the folder bearing the similar structure to the one shown: For that, I suggest you to copy the text in Excel and save as txt files (tab delimited) in order to have tab spaces between columns in the text files.

C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B14\intel_a\reffiles\standard where the "B14" corresponds to your installed vesion. (B13 for R13, B15 for R15, etc...)

You will then be able to select the standard from the thread command.

I forgot...I also switched to inch, otherwise you will have an warning message.
