Display section
At the top left there are two buttons for favorites. You will find further information on this in the section Saving and using favorites.
The preview displays the defined screwed joint. The preview is used primarily as a visual check. Additional functions are activated by clicking in the preview with the mouse wheel. You will find further information on this in the section Object preview.
To the left of the preview there are buttons with which you can adjust both the preview and also the insertion of the screwed joint into the drawing. You will find further information on this in the section Object views.

Dialog box section Parts
List Shows the constituent parts of the current screwed joint. The nominal size of the screwed joint is shown above the list (e.g. M12). The first component in the list defines the nominal size of the complete screwed joint and should be a screw; this then leads to the other components. You can select a part of the screwed joint in the list to change its properties.
If you click in the parts list with the right mouse key, a context menu opens offering the following options:
Add Copies the selected constituent part of the screwed joint.
Remove Removes the selected constituent part of the screwed joint.
Upwards Moves the marked part upwards by one position (to the left in the preview).
Downwards Moves the marked part downwards by one position (to the right in the preview).
Dialog box section Properties
Type Changes the type of the selected constituent part. Three types can be used in the screwed joint. Standard part, Drilled hole and Clamping.
Standard < Restores the ready-to-use screwed joint, if it has been changed. E.g.: If with a ready-to-use plug/nut screwed joint you have replaced the supplied nut by a cap nut, you can restore the original state with the button Standard.
Rotate Rotates the selected part through 90 degrees.
Mirror Mirrors the selected part about its own axis. This is, for example, necessary for single-sided chamfered panes, if the installation situation demands it.
As clamping Only active for drilled holes and treats them as clamping. This leads to the following parts being displaced by the hole depth (= clamping).
Clamping Defines the clamping dimension.
[<] Accesses the clamping dimension in the drawing. The Dialog box Screwed joint is temporarily closed and the input request appears:
Specify clamping or [?]: <10>:
Enter a point to define the clamping or enter a length.
Specify second point:
Enter the second point to define the clamping.
Tab Manager
You will find a detailed description of the functions of the manager in the Chapter Management of objects.

Click OK to insert the assembly or to accept the changes. Click Cancel to discard the changes.
Explode Releases the screwed joint into its constituent parts and terminates the dialog box.
Note
• Ready-to-use fixings (e.g. anchor with washer and nut) are automatically inserted as a screwed joint. You then have, for example, the possibility of replacing the nut by a cap nut.
• With the command Object to solid body you can convert the screwed joints to solids.
• With the command Projection objects you can generate 2D projections of screwed joints.
