This chapter explains how to draw threads and washers. It also explains how to select fasteners and how to design using fasteners, washers, and keys.
Threads are created in Inventor using either the Hole or the Thread tool located on the Modify panel under the 3D Model tab. See Figure 6-1. Predrawn fasteners may be accessed using the Content Center tool. The Content Center library is explained later in the chapter.
Figure 6-2 shows a thread. The peak of a thread is called the crest, and the valley portion is called the root. The major diameter of a thread is the distance across the thread from crest to crest. The minor diameter is the distance across the thread from root to root.

Threads are specified on a drawing using drawing callouts. See Figure 6-3. The M at the beginning of a drawing callout specifies that the callout is for a metric thread. Holes that are not threaded use the Ø symbol.
The number following the M is the major diameter of the thread. An M10 thread has a major diameter of 10 mm. The pitch of a metric thread is assumed to be a coarse thread unless otherwise stated. The callout M10 × 30 assumes a coarse thread, or a thread length of 1.5 mm per thread. The number 30 is the thread length in millimeters. The “×” is read as “by,” so the thread is called a “ten by thirty.”
The callout M10 × 1.25 × 30 specifies a pitch of 1.25 mm per thread. This is not a standard coarse thread size, so the pitch must be specified.
Figure 6-4 shows a listing of preferred sizes for a diameter of 10 cylinder.
Click the Thread tool located under the 3D model tab, then click the surface of the cylinder.
Click the arrowhead next to the Designation box.
A listing of thread sizes are available for a diameter 19 cylinder.
Click the arrowhead next to the Size box for a listing of preferred diameter sizes.
Whenever possible, use preferred thread sizes for designing. Preferred thread sizes are readily available and are usually cheaper than nonstandard sizes. In addition, tooling—such as wrenches—is also readily available for preferred sizes.
ANSI Unified screw threads (English units) always include a thread form specification. Thread form specifications are designated by capital letters, as shown in Figure 6-5, and are defined as follows.
UNC—Unified National Coarse
UNF—Unified National Fine
UNEF—Unified National Extra Fine
UN—Unified National, or constant-pitch threads
An ANSI (English units) thread callout starts by defining the major diameter of the thread followed by the pitch specification. The callout .500-13 UNC means a thread whose major diameter is .500 in. with 13 threads per inch. The thread is manufactured to the UNC standards.
There are three possible classes of fit for a thread: 1, 2, and 3. The different class specifications specify a set of manufacturing tolerances. A class 1 thread is the loosest, and a class 3 the most exact. A class 2 fit is the most common.
The letter A designates an external thread, and B designates an internal thread. The symbol × means “by,” as in 2 × 4, “two by four.” The thread length (3.00) may be followed by the word LONG to prevent confusion about which value represents the length.
Pitch is defined as 1/number of threads per inch. ANSI English thread callouts specify the number of threads per inch; so, for example, a .500-13 UNC thread would have a pitch equal to 1/13, or .077 inch. ANSI metric thread designations specify the pitch directly.
Drawing callouts for ANSI (English unit) threads are sometimes shortened, such as in Figure 6-5. The callout .500-13 UNC-2A × 3.00 LONG is shortened to .500-13 × 3.00. Only a coarse thread has 13 threads per inch, and it should be obvious whether a thread is internal or external, so these specifications may be dropped. Most threads are class 2, so it is tacitly accepted that all threads are class 2 unless otherwise specified. The shortened callout form is not universally accepted. When in doubt, use a complete thread callout.
A listing of standard ANSI (English unit) threads, as presented in Inventor, is shown in Figure 6-6. Some of the drill sizes listed use numbers and letters. The decimal equivalents to the numbers are listed in Figure 6-6.
There are three ways to represent threads graphically on a technical drawing: detailed, schematic, and simplified. Figure 6-5 shows an external detailed representation, and Figure 6-7 shows both the external and internal simplified and schematic representations.
Figure 6-8 shows an internal and an external thread created using Inventor. The threads will automatically be sized to the existing hole. Threads may be created only around existing holes and cylinders.
Figure 6-9 shows a 20 × 30 × 10 box with a Ø6.0 hole drilled through its center. The hole was created using the Hole tool.
Click on the Thread tool located on the Modify panel under the 3D Model tab.
The Thread dialog box will appear. See Figures 6-4, 6-6, and 6-9.
Click on the existing hole (the internal surface).
The threads will automatically be created to match the hole’s diameter. Because the hole’s diameter is 6.0, an M6 × 1 thread is created.
Click OK.
Figure 6-10 shows the resulting threaded hole.
When a thread is added to an existing hole, a thread listing will be included in the browser box. See Figure 6-11. The listing will confirm that a thread has been added, but it will not define the size or type of thread.
Right-click on the Hole1 listing in the browser box.
A dialog box will appear. See Figure 6-12
Select the Show Dimensions option.
Figure 6-13 shows the resulting dimensions. The dimensions define the hole’s diameter, and because Inventor will match the thread size to the existing hole diameter, the thread is an M6.
The internally threaded holes presented in the last section passed completely through the material. This section shows how to draw holes that do not pass completely through the object but have a defined depth.
Figure 6-14 shows a tapped hole. It is drawn using the simplified representation. Note that there are three separate portions to the hole’s representation: the threaded portion, the unthreaded portion, and the 120° conical point. Only the threaded portion of the tapped hole is used to define the hole’s depth. The unthreaded portion and the conical point are shown, but are not included in the depth calculation.
A tapped hole is manufactured by first drilling a pilot hole that is slightly smaller than the major diameter of the threads. The threads are then cut into the side of the pilot hole using a tapping bit. The tapping bit has no cutting edges on its bottom surface, so if it strikes the bottom of the hole, the bit can be damaged. Convention calls for the unthreaded portion of the pilot hole to extend about the equivalent of two thread pitches (2P) beyond the end of the threaded portion. The conical portion is added to the bottom surface of the pilot hole.
Figure 6-15 shows a 20 × 30 × 30 box with an existing Ø8 × 16 deep hole. The Thread tool will automatically apply an M8 thread to the Ø8 hole.
A minimum distance equal to two pitches (2P) is recommended between the bottom of the hole and the end of the threads. The distance may be greater. One pitch equals 1.25 mm, so 2P = 2.50 mm. The existing hole is 16 mm, so the thread depth is 13.5 mm.
Note
The 2P recommendation is a minimal value. Distances of 3P, 4P, or greater may be used, depending on the application.
Click on the Thread tool on the Modify panel located under the 3D Model tab.
The Thread dialog box will appear. See Figure 6-16.
The Face tool will automatically be activated.
Select Face by clicking the internal surface of the hole.
Enter a Depth value of 13.5.
Click the Specification tab and set the Designation for M8 × 1.25.
Click OK.
Note
Inventor will automatically create a coarse thread with a pitch of 1.25. There are other pitch sizes available: M8 × 1, M8 × 0.8, M8 × 0.75, and M8 × 0.5. These pitch sizes are accessed using the arrow on the right side of the Designation box on the Specification tab of the Thread dialog box.
Figure 6-17 shows a section view of the threaded blind hole. Note how hidden lines are used to represent threads in both the top and the section views.
Pitch for ANSI threads is defined as threads per inch. A ¼-20 UNC thread has a pitch of 20 threads per inch. The length in inches of one thread is 1/20, or 0.05 in. Therefore, 2P = 2(0.05) = 0.10 in.
If a block includes a hole 1.50 deep, then the appropriate thread length is 1.50 − 0.10 = 1.40 in.
Threaded holes may be created directly using the Hole tool. Figure 6-18 shows a 30 × 40 × 30 mm block with a hole center defined using the Point, Center Point tool in the center of the top surface.
Create a new sketch plane on the top surface of the block and use the Point tool to locate a point at the center of the surface.
Right-click the mouse and select the Finish 2D Sketch option.

Click the Full Depth box so that no check appears.
Set the thread depth for 8 and the hole depth for 10.
The hole depth should, with rare exceptions, be greater than the thread depth.
Click OK.
Fasteners, such as screws and bolts, and their associated hardware, such as nuts and washers, are manufactured to standard specifications. Using standard-size fasteners in designs saves production costs and helps assure interchangeability.
Inventor includes a library of standard parts that may be accessed using the Place from Content Center tool on the Component panel under the Assemble tab. Clicking on the Place from Content Center tool accesses the Content Center dialog box. The Content Center may also be accessed by right clicking the mouse and selecting the Place from Content Center option.
Note
The drawing must be in the Standard.iam format, either mm or inch designation.
See Figure 6-22. Figure 6-23 shows the Place from Content Center dialog box. Click the + sign to the left of the Fasteners heading under Category View. Click Fasteners, Bolts, Hex Head, and select the Hex Bolt-Metric bolt. A listing of available diameters and lengths will appear. See Figure 6-24. Click the Table View tab to access a table of sizes and dimensions that apply to the selected bolt. See Figure 6-25.
Say we wish to determine the length of thread and the depth of hole needed to accept an M10 × 25 hex-head screw and to create a drawing of the screw in the threaded hole. The length of the threaded hole must extend a minimum of two pitches (2P) beyond the end of the screw, and the untapped portion of the hole must extend a minimum of two pitches (2P) beyond the threaded portion of the hole. This requirement ensures that all the fastener threads will be in contact with the hole’s threads and that fasteners will not bottom out. In this example, the thread pitch equals 1.50 mm. Therefore, 2P = 2(1.50) = 3.0 mm. This is the minimum distance and can be increased, but never decreased. See Figure 6-26.
The two-pitch length requirement for the distance between the end of the screw and the end of the threaded portion of the hole determines that the thread depth should be 25.0 + 3.0 = 28.0 mm. The two-pitch length requirement between the end of the threaded portion of the hole and the bottom of the hole requires that the hole must have a depth of 28.0 + 3.0, or 31.0 mm.
It is important that complete hole depths be specified, as they will serve to show any interference with other holes or surfaces.
Create a new Standard (mm).ipt drawing and create a 40 × 40 × 60 block.
Use the Point, Center Point and the Hole tools to create an M10 × 1.5 × 28 deep thread and a 31 deep hole.
See Figure 6-27.

Figure 6-33 shows the resulting assembly.
Save the assembly.
Figure 6-34 shows a top view and a section view of the M10ASSEMBLY created using the ISO.idw option. Note the open area between the bottom of the M10 bolt and the bottom of the hole.
Screws often pass through an object or group of objects and are secured using nuts. The threads of a nut must match the threads of the screw.
Nuts are manufactured at a variety of heights depending on their intended application. Nuts made for heavy loads are thicker than those intended for light loads. In general, nut thickness can be estimated as 0.88 of the major diameter of the thread. For example, if the nut has an M10 thread, the thickness will be about 0.88(10) = 8.8 mm.
It is good practice to specify a screw length that allows for at least two threads beyond the nut. This will ensure that all threads of the nut are in contact with the screw threads. Strength calculations for screw threads are based on 100% contact with the nut. See Figure 6-35.
In the following example, an M10 bolt will pass through a box that has a height of 30 mm and be held in place using an M10 hex nut. The required length of the screw is calculated by adding the height of the box to the height of the nut, then adding at least two thread lengths (2P).
For an M10 coarse thread 2P = 1.60 mm. The height of the nut = 0.88(10) = 8.80 mm, and the height of the box = 30 mm:
30.00 + 8.80 + 1.60 = 40.4 mm
Refer to Figure 6-30 and find the nearest M10 standard thread length that is greater than 40.4. The table shows the next available standard length that is greater than 40.4 is 45 mm.
Draw a 40 × 40 × 30 box.
Locate a Ø11 hole in the center of the top surface of the box.
The hole does not have threads. It is a clearance hole and so should be slightly larger than the M10 thread. See Figure 6-36.
Save the block as Ø11BLOCK.
Start a new assembly drawing called M10NUT. Use the Standard (mm).iam format.
Use the Place Component tool and place a copy of the Ø11BLOCK on the drawing screen.
Use the Save As command on the File pull-down menu to save and name the new assembly as M10NUT.iam.
Click the Place from Content Center tool.
Click the Fasteners option, the Bolts option, the Hex Head option, the Hex Bolt-Metric bolt, and OK.
A small icon will appear on the screen attached to the cursor.

Apply the constraints.
Figure 6-42 shows the resulting assembly.
There are many different types of screws generally classified by their head types. Figure 6-43 shows six of the most commonly used types.
The choice of head type depends on the screw’s application and design function. A product design for home use would probably use screws that had slotted heads, as most homes possess a blade screwdriver. Hex-head screws can be torqued to higher levels than slotted pan heads but require socket wrenches. Flat-head screws are used when the screw is located in a surface that must be flat and flush.
Sometimes a screw’s head shape is selected to prevent access. For example, the head of the screw used to open most fire hydrants is pentagon-shaped and requires a special wrench to open it. This is to prevent unauthorized access that could affect a district’s water pressure.
Screw connections for oxygen lines in hospitals have left-handed threads. They are the only lines that have left-handed threads, to ensure that no patient needing oxygen is connected to anything but oxygen.
Inventor’s Content Center lists many different types of fasteners. See Figure 6-44. There are many subfiles to each of the fastener headings.
Flat-head screws are inserted into countersunk holes. The procedure is first to create a countersunk hole on a component, then to create an assembly using the component along with the appropriate screw listed in the Content Center.
The following example uses an M8 × 50 Forged Hexagon Socket Flat Countersunk Head Cap Screw-Metric.
The hole in the block must be sized to accept the M8 × 50 screw. This information is available from the Table View option of the Place from Content Center dialog box. See Figure 6-45. For example, the table defines the screw’s head diameter. This value will be used to size the countersunk hole in the 40 × 40 × 80 block. In this example, the head diameter is 15.65 mm.
Create a 40 × 40 × 80 block.
Locate a hole’s center point in the center (20 × 20) of the top surface of the block using the Point, Center Point tool.
Go to the 3D Model tab and click the Hole tool.
Click the Countersink and Tapped boxes.
See Figure 6-46.
The pitch length of an M8 thread is 1.25, so two thread lengths (2P) equals 2.50.
The hole’s threads must be at least 50.00 + 2.50 = 52.50, and the pilot hole must be at least 52.50 + 2.50 = 55.00 deep
Click the Full Depth box (remove the check mark), set the Termination option to Distance, set the Thread Type option for ANSI Metric M Profile, the thread depth for 52.5, the hole’s depth for 55, and the head diameter for 15.65.
The value 15.65 came from the Table View portion of the Place from Content Center dialog box. Figure 6-47 shows the countersunk hole located in the 40 × 40 × 80 block.
Save the block as BLOCK, COUNTERSINK.
Create an assembly drawing using the Standard (mm).iam format.
Use the Place Component tool and locate one copy of the BLOCK, COUNTERSINK on the drawing screen.
Use the Save As command to save and name the assembly.
In this example, the name COUNTERSINK ASSEMBLY was used.
Click the Place from Content Center tool.
Select the Fasteners, Bolts option, then Countersunk.
Select the Forged Hexagon Socket Flat Countersunk Head Cap Screw—Metric and set the Thread description for M8 and the Nominal Length for 50.
See Figure 6-48
Click the Insert box.
Click the Constrain tool, then select the Insert option on the Place Constraint dialog box.
Insert the screw into the block.
Figure 6-49 shows the resulting assembly. Figure 6-50 shows a top and a section view of the countersunk screw inserted into the block. Note that the portion of the hole below the bottom of the M8 × 50 screw is clear; that is, it does not show the unused threads. This is a drawing convention that is intended to add clarity to the drawing. Inventor will automatically omit the unused threads.
A counterbored hole is created by first drilling a hole, then drilling a second larger hole aligned with the first. Counterbored holes are often used to recess the heads of fasteners.
Say we wish to fit a 3/8-16 UNC × 1.50 LONG hex-head screw into a block that includes a counterbored hole, and that after assembly the head of the screw is to be below the surface of the block.
It is necessary to access the Content Center to find the head height of the bolt to be able to determine the depth of the counterbore.
Create a new assembly drawing and click the Place from Content Center tool.
Click Fasteners, Bolts, and Hex Head to access the hex head bolt listing.
Select the Hex Bolt - Inch bolt.
The Hex Bolt - Inch dialog box will appear. See Figure 6-51.
Select the 3/8-16 UNC × 1.50 LONG bolt.
Click the Table View tab.
See Figure 6-43 for reference.
In this example, the head height is 0.268 in. (See Figure 6-51.) The counterbore must have a depth greater than the head height. A distance of 0.313 (5/16) was selected.
The screw is 1.50 in. long and has a pitch of 16 threads per inch. Each thread is therefore 1/16, or 0.0625 in. It is recommended that there be at least two threads beyond the end of the screw. Two thread pitches would be 2(0.0625) = 0.125 in. This is a minimum recommendation. A larger value could also be used.
The thread depth is 1.50 + 0.125, or 1.625 in. minimum; however, the thread is created below the counterbore, so in Inventor the value must include the depth of the counterbore. The thread depth is 1.625 + 0.313 = 1.938 in.
The hole should extend at least two pitch lengths beyond the threaded portion of the hole, plus the depth of the counterbore, so 1.938 + 0.125 = 2.063 in.
The distance across the corners of the screw is listed in the Table View portion of the Place from Content Center dialog box as 0.650 in. The counterbored hole must be at least this large, plus have an allowance for the tool (socket wrench) needed to assemble and disassemble the screw. In general, the diameter is increased 0.125 in., or 1/8 in. [3.2 mm], all around to allow for tooling needs.
If space is a concern, then designers will change the head type of a screw so that the tooling will not add to the required diameter. For example, a socket-head type screw may be used if design requirements permit.
The minimum counterbore diameter is 0.650 + 0.125 = 0.775. The 0.650 value was determined using the .649 distance across the corners value that was found in the Table View in the Hex Bolt-Inch dialog box. The 0.125 value is a tool allowance added so a socket wrench can access the bolt head. For this example, 0.8125, or 13/16 in., was selected. We can now create the component.
Draw a 3.00 × 3.00 × 5.00 block using the Standard (in).ipt format.

Click the Counterbore, Tapped tools, turn off the Full Depth option, and set the hole type for ANSI Unified Screw Thread.
Set the hole depth for 2.063, the thread depth for 1.938, the counterbore diameter for .8125, and the counterbore depth for .313.
Select 3/8-16 UNC threads.
See Figure 6-52.
Click OK, then save the block as BLOCK, COUNTERBORE.
Create an assembly drawing using the Standard (in).iam format.
Use the Place Component tool to place a copy of the counterbored block on the screen.
Use the Save As command to save and name the assembly COUNTERBORE ASSEMBLY.
Click the Place from Content Center tool and select a 3/8-16 UNC × 1.50 hex-head bolt and insert it onto the drawing.
See Figure 6-53.
Use the Place Constraint tool to insert the bolt into the hole.
Figure 6-54 shows the bolt inserted into the counterbored hole. Note the tooling clearance around the hex head and the clearance between the top of the bolt and the top surface of the block.
The Content Center contains a partial listing of fasteners. There are many other sizes and styles available. Inventor can be used to draw specific fasteners that can then be saved and used on assemblies.
Say we wish to draw an M8 × 25 hex-head screw and that this size is not available in the Content Center.
Create a Standard (mm).ipt drawing.
Draw a Ø8 × 25 cylinder. Draw the cylinder with its top surface on the XY plane so that it extends in the negative Z direction.
See Figure 6-55
Add a 1.25 × 1.25 chamfer to the bottom of the cylinder.
See Figure 6-56. In general, the chamfer will equal approximately one pitch length. The Chamfer tool is located on the Modify panel under the 3D Model tab.
Create a new sketch plane on the top surface of the cylinder.
Use the Polygon tool and draw a hexagon centered on the top surface of the cylinder. Sketch the hexagon 12 mm across the flats (see Chapter 2) and extrude it to a height of 5.4 mm above the XY plane.
See Figure 6-57.
The head height and distance across the flats were determined using the general values defined in Figure 6-43. Specific values may be obtained from manufacturers, many of whom list their products on the Web, or from reference books such as Machinery’s Handbook.
Add threads to the cylinder, using the Thread tool. Click the cylinder, and Inventor will automatically create threads to match the cylinder’s diameter.
See Figure 6-58. Check the thread specification to assure that correct threads were created. Note that the coarse pitch of 1.25 was automatically selected, but other pitch values are also available.
Save the drawing as M8 × 1.25 × 25 HEXHEADSCREW.
Nuts are used with externally threaded objects to hold parts together. There are many different styles of nuts. The Content Center library includes listings for hex, slotted hex, and wing nuts, among others. Figure 6-59 shows the Table View portion of the Content Center dialog box that includes nut heights.
The threads of a nut must be exactly the same as the external threads inserted into them. For example, if a screw with an M8 × 1.25 thread is selected, an M8 × 1.25 nut thread must be selected.
The head height of the nut must be considered when determining the length of a bolt. It is good practice to have a minimum of two threads extend beyond the nut to help ensure that the nut is fully secured. Strength calculations are based on all nut threads being 100% engaged, so having threads extend beyond a nut is critical.
Figure 6-60 shows two blocks, each 25-mm thick with a center hole of Ø9.00 mm. The holes are clearance holes and do not include threads. The blocks are to be held together using an M8 hex head screw and a compatible nut.
Each block is 25-mm thick, for a total of 50 mm. The nut height, from Figure 6-59, for an M8 hex nut is 6.80, so the minimum thread length that will pass through both parts and the nut is 56.80 mm. Two threads must extend beyond the nut to ensure that it is fully secured. From Figure 6-59 the length of an M8 thread is given as 1.25 mm, so two threads equal 2.50 mm. Therefore, the minimum thread length must be 50.00 + 6.80 + 2.50 = 59.3 mm.
Bolts are manufactured in standard lengths, some of which are listed in the Content Center library. If the required thread length was not available from the library, manufacturers’ catalogs would have to be searched and a new screw drawing created. In this example, the next available standard length is 60 mm.
Click the Place from Content Center tool.
Select the Fasteners option, then Bolts, then Hex Head. Select the Hex Bolt - Metric.
See Figure 6-61. The standard thread length that is closest to, but still greater than, 59.3 is 60 mm. The 60 mm length is selected and applied to the drawing.
Define the values for an M8 × 60 hex head screw and insert it into the drawing.
See Figure 6-62.
Insert the screw into the two assembled parts.
See Figure 6-63. Note that the screw extends beyond the bottom of the two assembled parts.
Click the Place from Content Center and select the Fasteners option, then Nuts, then Hex, then the Hex Nut - Metric listing.
See Figure 6-64.
Insert a copy of the nut into the drawing area.
Figure 6-65 shows the nut added to the drawing screen.
Use the Place Constraint tool and insert the nut onto the screw so that it is flush with the bottom surface of the blocks.
Figure 6-66 shows the nut inserted onto the screw.
The nuts listed in the Content Center library represent only a partial listing of the sizes and styles of nuts available. If a design calls for a nut size or type not listed in the Content Center library, refer to manufacturers’ specifications, then draw the nut and save it as an individual drawing. It can then be added to the design drawings as needed.
Washers are used to increase the bearing area under fasteners or as spacers. Washers are identified by their inside diameter, outside diameter, and thickness. In addition, washers can be designated N, R, or W for narrow, regular, and wide, respectively. These designations apply only to the outside diameters; the inside diameter is the same.
A flat thin ring used to increase the bearing area under a fastener or as a spacer.
Inventor lists washers by their nominal diameter. The nominal diameters differ from the actual inside diameter by a predetermined clearance allowance. For example, a washer with a nominal diameter of 8 has an actual inside diameter of 8.40, or 0.40 mm greater than the 8 nominal diameter. This means that washer sizes can easily be matched to thread sizes using nominal sizes. A washer with a nominal diameter designation of 8 will fit over a thread designated M8.
There are different types of washers including, among others, plain and tapered. The Place from Content Center dialog box includes a listing of both plain and tapered washers. Figure 6-67 shows the Table View portion of the Place from Content Center dialog box for a plain washer ISO 7089.
We again start with the two blocks shown in Figure 6-60. Each has a height of 25 mm. We know from the previous section that the nut height is 6.80 mm and that the requirement that at least two threads extend beyond the end of the nut adds 2.50 mm, yielding a total thread length requirement of 59.3. We now have to add the thickness of the two washers and recalculate the minimum required bolt length.
Say we selected a plain regular washer number ISO 7089 with a nominal size of 8. From Figure 6-67, the Table View on the IS0 7089 dialog box the thickness is found to be 1.6 mm, or a total of 3.20 mm for the two washers. This extends the minimum bolt length requirement to 59.3 + 3.20 = 62.5. The nearest standard thread bolt length listed in the Place from Content Center dialog box that is greater than the 62.5 requirement is 65.
Use the Place Component tool and locate two copies of the block on the drawing, then align the blocks.

The washers listed in the Content Center dialog box library represent only a partial listing of the washers available. If a design calls for a washer size or type not listed in the library, refer to manufacturers’ specifications, then draw the washer and save it as an individual drawing. It can then be added to the design drawings as needed.
Setscrews are fasteners used to hold parts like gears and pulleys to rotating shafts or other moving objects to prevent slippage between the two objects. See Figure 6-73.

Rivets are fasteners that hold together adjoining or overlapping objects. A rivet starts with a head at one end and a straight shaft at the other end. The rivet is then inserted into the object, and the headless end is “bucked” or otherwise forced into place. A force is applied to the headless end that changes its shape so that another head is formed, holding the objects together.
A metal fastener with a head and a straight shaft for holding together overlapping and adjoining objects.
There are many different shapes and styles of rivets. Figure 6-79 shows five common head shapes for rivets. Hollow rivets are used on aircraft because they are very lightweight. A design advantage of rivets is that they can be drilled out and removed without damage to the objects they hold together.
Figure 6-79
Rivet types are represented on technical drawings using a coding system. See Figure 6-80. Because rivets are sometimes so small and the material they hold together so thin that it is difficult to draw the rivets clearly, some companies draw only the rivet’s centerline in the side view and identify the rivets using a drawing callout.

Calculate the required screw length for the screw that mounts between the back-to-back top brackets.
The flanges on the two top brackets are 10 each, the washers are 2.30 thick, and the nut is 5.00 thick. Therefore, the minimum screw length is equal to
10 + 10 + 2.30 + 2.30 + 5.00 = 29.60
This length value does not include the required two pitches that must extend beyond the nut.
Access the Place from Content Center and click the Fasteners heading.

Click the Table View tab on the Hex Bolt - Metric dialog box and note that the pitch of the M10 thread is 1.50.
Click the Select tab on the Hex Bolt - Metric dialog box.
The value for 2P (two pitches) equals 2(1.50) = 3.00. Add this value to the 29.60 length requirement calculated previously:
29.60 + 3.00 = 32.60
The next standard length value is 35. See Figure 6-95.
Figure 6-95
Select the 35 nominal length; click OK.
Use the Insert constraint tool and insert the screw into the assembly.
See Figure 6-96.
Figure 6-96
Calculate the minimum thread length for the two screws inserted between the top bracket and the solid base.
From the dimensioned drawings shown in Figure 6-83, the depth of the counterbore on the top bracket is 8.00. The total height of the flange is 24.00, so the threaded portion of each screw must pass through a difference of 16.00. The counterbore on the solid base is 8.00 deep, and the flange is 20 thick, so the thread must pass through 12.00. The total distance is 16.00 + 12.00 = 28.00.
If the same nut as selected previously is used, the nut height is 5.0. The thread pitch for an M10 screw is 1.50 (2P = 3.00). Therefore, the minimum required thread length is as follows:
16.00 + 12.00 + 5.00 + 3.00 = 36.00
This value indicates that an M10 × 40 screw is required.
Use the Insert constraint and position the screws.
