4. For each object which defines a geometry standard:
– Open the properties.
– Modify the name and description.
– Enter the bolt step lengths on the "Attributes > Dimensions" tab.
– Save your entries.
5. Assign the geometry standard to an appropriate screw part. Amend the pipe part catalog
first if necessary. See also chapter Extending a system of standards in the pipe part
catalog (Page 59).
The attributes catalog does not have to be amended.

Configuring geometry standards for nuts and washers

Requirement
You have created a new geometry standard for bolt parts.
Procedure
1. Open the node of the newly created system of standards structure object.
For nuts:
– You see the structure objects for the nut types.
For washers:
– You see the objects defining the geometry standards (geometry tables).
2. For nuts:
– For each structure object which defines a nut type: Open the properties and enter a
– For each structure object which defines a nut type: Open the node.
3. For each basic table: Open the properties.
For nuts: Enter the following data for all dimensions on the "Attributes > Dimensions" tab:
– "L1" column: The nut height
– "L2" column: The overlap
– "P" column: The pitch
For washers:
Enter the height of the washer in the "L1" column on the "Attributes > Dimensions" tab.
4. Save your entries.
5. Assign the geometry standard to an appropriate screw part. Amend the pipe part catalog
first, if necessary. See also chapter Extending a system of standards in the pipe part
catalog (Page 59).
