Working with Standard Parts
AutoCAD Mechanical provides a large selection of standard parts to work with,
including regular and fine threads, many types of holes, fasteners, and other
standard parts. You can insert complete screw connections (screws with holes
and nuts) in one step. Some intelligence is built into this process. For example,
if you select a screw with a metric thread, you get only metric threads when
you add any additional parts such as tapped holes or nuts.
NOTE It is required that the ISO standard parts be installed for this tutorial exercise.
