6. To change the thread type, click the Specification tab. Beside each box, click the down arrow to select from the list:
   • In the Thread Type box, select the thread type.
   • In the Nominal Size box, select the thread diameter.
   • In the Pitch box, select the thread count.
   • In the Class box, select the class type.
   • Click Right hand or Left hand to specify the direction of the threads.
