Create custom thread type or clearance hole type

  1. Close Autodesk Inventor, and open the Thread.xls file.
  2. Copy an existing worksheet of the same type (parallel or taper).
  3. Delete most or all of the data rows (row 4 and below), and add data rows as required.
  4. Rename the worksheet name (thread type name) and custom thread type name (cell B1/C1).
  5. Edit cells A1 and D1.
  6. Save the file.
    Note: Changes to the Excel file are refreshed on startup. Thread data from the referenced spreadsheet are not associative. Changes to the spreadsheet do not redefine previously created threads.

Use the same procedure to add a clearance type to the Clearance.xls file
