• A solution to the case where you need to handle too many screws with different type and orientation. Screw Locator analyzes the whole assembly or selected parts and finds the holes which are drilled for placing screws. Then it searches for the threads, if screw holes and the threads are aligning in the space then it concludes that a certain screw type can be placed in this found pair. Program does the same search for all selected parts and finally it reports out the parts which are joined by screws, number and type of the screw. If desired, the screw itself is created from a parametric model and placed in assembly tree.

• Analyze in 3-D space. Program does the analyze step in 3-dimensional space which means that the screws can be in any orientation. Program searches for the holes which aligns in space, and allows certain kind of screw to be placed in them. As an example to characteristic hole diameters let’s consider M8 screw;

Screw Head Diam: 15.0 Body: 9.0 Thread: 6.8

Program searches for a matching pair in space. And it keeps the analyze till all the holes are processed. These characteristic diameters are editable by the user.
