Bolts - Distance tab

On this tab of the properties dialog box, you can modify the size of the bolt group defined by two diagonal points.

Note: The intermediate distance and the edge distance are related since the bolt pattern width and length do not change. One value is calculated automatically when the other one is set.

Number X

Defines the number of bolts in the X direction

Number Y

Defines the number of bolts in the Y direction

Total length

Defines the length of the bolt pattern (in the X direction)

Total width

Defines the width of the bolt pattern (in the Y direction)

Intermediate distance X

Defines the distance between bolts along the X-axis.

Intermediate distance Y

Defines the distance between bolts along the Y-axis.

Edge distance X

Defines the outer bolt line distance to the bolt pattern edge in the X direction

Edge distance Y

Defines the outer bolt line distance to the bolt pattern edge in the Y direction

Use standard edge distances

Optionally, you can use the standard edge distances. The values are according to the selected bolt type.

How to modify the number of bolts in a bolt pattern

1. Access the bolt pattern properties.
2. Click the Distance tab of the properties dialog box. The following properties can be modified:

• Use standard edge distances: optionally, you can use the standard edge distances. The values are according to the selected bolt type.

Note: The intermediate distance and the edge distance are related since the bolt pattern width and length do not change. One value is calculated automatically when the other one is set.
