Expand description
Cosmetic threads: threads recorded on a round face rather than modelled
— what a drawing, a bill of materials or a fastener check reads, and
what the viewer draws as a helix on the face. Held as the part’s target
threads, and drawn as the annotations of the step that recorded
them (draw_threads).
They are the framework’s, not the hole’s that taps one: a step that repeats features — a pattern, a mirror — copies the threads they carry and draws its copies, knowing no step that records one.
Structs§
- Cosmetic
Thread - A thread recorded on a round face, straight or tapered, by its specification and where it lies — kept as geometry, so that it says the same whatever later steps do to the face it was put on.
- Threads
- A part’s cosmetic threads, by name: the value of its target
threads, which every step that records one revises.
Functions§
- draw_
threads - Draws the threads the step recorded on the part, as its
annotations: what a step that records threads does after. - read_
threads - The part’s cosmetic threads as
readerreads them: none, before the first step that records one. - threads
- The part’s cosmetic threads.
