Tool for inserting a threaded fastening from library nanoCAD Mechanica 23.
Procedure
1. Specify the starting point of the threaded fastener in the drawing.
2. Specify the end point of the threaded fastener, the “Fasteners” dialog will open. When inserting, tools are available to select the direction of drawing. Specifying the start and end points defines the centerline of the fastener. The intersected lines make up the thickness of the part package being fastened.

3. In the “Fasteners” dialog box, customize the look of the threaded fastener.
Note:
The thread fastener insert dialog automatically saves the last selected template and thread diameter.
4. Confirm the settings with the “Apply” button, or with the “OK” button if you want to close the dialog at the same time. A threaded fastener will be built.

Editing a threaded fastener
You can edit a threaded fastener by editing the “Threaded fastener” object, or by editing individual parts included in the threaded fastener.
When editing, you can change the composition, diameter of the threaded fastener, as well as the parameters of the individual parts that are included in it.
To open the threaded fastener setup dialog, apply any of the standard editing tools to the centerline of a group of parts.
If tooltips are enabled in nanoCAD Mechanica 23 settings, then when you hover the cursor over the centerline, the “Threaded fastening” tooltip appears.

Two ways to build a pipe path
First – automatic connection of two pipe fittings elements.
When joining the program selects the shortest distance: pipe length is calculated from the minimum values of the linear section and minimum bending radius of the pipe diameter.
The parameters are set in the pipeline nanoCAD Mechanica 23 (team Settings).

To automatically connect the two valve elements specify the connecting member (bushings, elbows, tees, crosses), hold down SHIFT. nanoCAD Mechanica 23 generate trajectory tubes and displays the dialog box with the geometric size of the segment of the pipeline. If the proposed path will not suit you, it can be edited in the same window.
Second – step by step construction of the pipeline with a consistent set the direction and length of the pipe segment.
Step task trajectory pipe begins with the first element of the valve. The insertion point and pipe diameter are determined automatically.
Next, follow the prompts on the command line, you can create the path of the pipeline, consistently introducing straight and arched portions.
For automatic connection of the pipe end to an element of reinforcement necessary to open the context menu.
Select option C bonds and provide an element of reinforcement with which to make the connection.
