Nominal Diameter d [mm]: M 32 x 1.5
Length l=: Enter 12
4 Choose OK.
NOTE If you have previously chosen a thread standard, the Thread dialog box
opens directly to the Nominal Diameter selection screen (illustrated above).
There is no need to choose the same standard again. To return to the standard
selection list in the Thread dialog box, choose Standard.
Mechanical Desktop Power Pack calculates the thread and adds it to the
shaft, then returns you to the 3D Shaft Generator dialog box.
Following the thread segment, you need to add another cylindrical segment
with a diameter smaller than the threaded section.
5 Choose the lower Cylinder icon, and respond to the prompts as follows:
Specify length or [Associate to/Equation assistant] <28>: Enter 2
Specify diameter or [Associate to/Equation assistant] <32>: Enter 25
The new segment is added, and you are ready to add a profile to your shaft.
