Properties

Name Description
Application Returns the top-level parent application object. When used the context of Inventor, an Application object is returned. When used in the context of Apprentice, an ApprenticeServer object is returned.
Class Use F1 key to display help topic.
CustomThreadDesignation Indicates the custom thread designation from the Custom Thread Designation column of the thread data spreadsheet.
FullThreadDepth Gets whether this thread is the full length of the cylinder or cone.
Internal Gets and sets whether this is an internal thread or external (False).
MajorDiameterMax Use F1 key to display help topic.
MajorDiameterMin Use F1 key to display help topic.
Metric Gets and sets whether this thread is metric or not.
MinorDiameterMax Use F1 key to display help topic.
MinorDiameterMin Use F1 key to display help topic.
NominalSize Property that returns the description of the nominal size. Any string is valid but the following examples are typical of the strings used, '1.6', 'M4', and '9/16'.
Pitch Property that returns the actual thread pitch. This value is used when displaying the threads in the model. This value is in millimeters if the Metric argument is True and inches if False.
PitchDiameterMax Use F1 key to display help topic.
PitchDiameterMin Use F1 key to display help topic.
RightHanded Gets and sets whether this is a right handed thread or left handed (False).
TapDrillDiameter Use F1 key to display help topic.
ThreadBasePoints Property that returns an enumerator of Point objects indicating the base points for the thread. Typically, there is only one item in the collection. The exception is a hole feature based on multiple sketch points, in which case there are as many Point objects returned as there are sketch points. The point accounts for any offsets applied to the thread. The property returns a point only when the ThreadInfo object is obtained from a feature and returns Nothing in the forward create scenario.
ThreadDepth Property that returns the parameter that controls the depth of the thread. Even though the parameter for the thread depth is always created and accessible through this property, it is only used in the case where the FullDepth property is False.
ThreadDesignation Property that returns a string that contains the thread designation. This is the full thread designation that is used in a drawing for the thread callout.
ThreadDirection Property that returns the direction of the thread. The property returns a vector only when the ThreadInfo object is obtained from a feature and returns Nothing in the forward create scenario.
ThreadType Gets and sets the thread type.
ThreadTypeIdentifier Property that returns the string that identifies the thread type. This string is not localized and should not be changed by the user. The thread type is the name of the sheet in the Thread.xls file.
Type Returns an ObjectTypeEnum indicating this object's type.
