sheet matal: threaded hole.

Jun 02, 2006 2 Replies

I'm new to solidworks and trying to make an enclusure. I was able to find from the toolbox the PEM standoff for PCB mounting. One problem I'm facing now is the way to make a threaded holes without using any press on PEM nut or things like that. I don't know the way to include a picture of what I'd like to do but the threaded hole I want to create is more like a small cylindrical protrusion from the sheet metal with thread on the inside wall of the protrusion. Please let me know how should I go about to get this done. Your help will be greatly appreciated.



Thx in advance.


Thanks for your quick response. I almost got it. I got the extruded hole and was able to place it to the right position. My question now is how to get the tread indide the hole and how to select the size of the thread and thing like that that would be compatale with some screws. Thanks
