I am just wondering how many users are imbedding interferences in their assembly models by using the standard PTC .hol tables. Where I work, we model all threaded features at the basic diameter (male and female). This is a lot cleaner because the interface is line on line - not an interference. If you have a complex assembly with a couple hundred faseteners, that is a LOT of interferences to sort through if you use the standard PTC approach. I know there are many ways to tackle this. I even knew a guy who was modeling screw THREADS with helical sweeps !! I think the basic diameter is a lot simpler and sure regenerates faster !!
