TaperedThreadInfo Object

Derived from: ThreadInfo Object

Description

The TaperedThreadInfo object defines the thread information that is used by the Hole and Thread features. For standard threads the StandardThreadInfo object is used.

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.
BasicMinorDiameter Property that returns s the basic minor diameter, or the diameter of the small end of the pipe. This is in millimeters if the Metric argument is True and inches if False. This property contains a Double value or can be Nothing if the value is not set.
CustomThreadDesignation Indicates the custom thread designation from the Custom Thread Designation column of the thread data spreadsheet.
EffectiveDiameter Property that returns the external effective thread diameter. This is in millimeters if the Metric argument is True and inches if False. This property contains a Double value or can be Nothing if the value is not set.
EffectiveLength Property that returns the external effective thread length. This is in millimeters if the Metric argument is True and inches if False. This property contains a Double value or can be Nothing if the value is not set.
EngagementDiameter Property that returns the hand tight engagement diameter. This is in millimeters if the Metric argument is True and inches if False. This property contains a Double value or can be Nothing if the value is not set.
EngagementLength Property that returns the hand tight engagement length. This is in millimeters if the Metric argument is True and inches if False. This property contains a Double value or can be Nothing if the value is not set.
ExternalPitchDiameter Property that returns the external pitch diameter. This is in millimeters if the Metric argument is True and inches if False. This property contains a Double value or can be Nothing if the value is not set.
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).
Metric Gets and sets whether this thread is metric or not.
NominalExternalDiameter Property that returns the nominal external diameter. This is in millimeters if the Metric argument is True and inches if False. This property contains a Double value or can be Nothing if the value is not set.
NominalExternalLength Property that returns the nominal perfect external thread length. This is in millimeters if the Metric argument is True and inches if False. This property contains a Double value or can be Nothing if the value is not set.
OutsidePipeDiameter Property that returns the outside of the pipe diameter. This is in millimeters if the Metric argument is True and inches if False. This property contains a Double value or can be Nothing if the value is not set.
OverallExternalLength Property that returns the overall external thread length. This is in millimeters if the Metric argument is True and inches if False. This property contains a Double value or can be Nothing if the value is not set.
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.
RightHanded Gets and sets whether this is a right handed thread or left handed (False).
TapDrillDiameter Read-only property that returns the maximum pitch diameter. This is in millimeters if the Metric argument is True and inches if False. This property contains a Double value or can be Nothing if the value is not set.
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.
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.
ThreadHeight Property that returns the thread height. This is in millimeters if the Metric argument is True and inches if False. This property contains a Double value or can be Nothing if the value is not set.
ThreadsPerInch Property that returns a string that describes the pitch. This is generally described in threads per inch, although this string can contain any characters. This string is used as part of the text when a callout is created for the thread in a drawing.
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.
VanishThread Property that returns the vanish thread. This is in millimeters if the Metric argument is True and inches if False. This property contains a Double value or can be Nothing if the value is not set.
WrenchMakeupDiameter Property that returns the internal wrench makeup diameter. This is in millimeters if the Metric argument is True and inches if False. This property contains a Double value or can be Nothing if the value is not set.
WrenchMakeupLength Property that gets and sets the internal wrench makeup length. This is in millimeters if the Metric argument is True and inches if False. This property contains a Double value or can be Nothing if the value is not set.
