Enter a thread designation string for each thread size in the Custom Thread Designation column of the Thread Data Spreadsheet. The string is then available in thread and hole features and can be recovered in hole notes in a drawing.
- With Autodesk Inventor closed, open the Thread.xls file.
- Click the tab of the worksheet you want to edit.
- Locate the Custom Thread Designation column (column D in a Parallel worksheet or column B in a Taper worksheet) and edit the cells as appropriate.
Note: To avoid spreadsheet errors, edit only the Custom Thread Designation column, not the Thread Designation column. If the same thread designation appears on several rows, the custom thread designation must be the same for each.
- Save the spreadsheet.
- Start Autodesk Inventor and view your changes.
