Description
The 
Assembly CreateJointScrew tool creates a screw joint (helical joint) that couples the translation of a part of a slider joint and the rotation of a part of a revolute joint. In connection with the already existing joints this joint can be used to simulate a lead screw gear.
Usage
- Optionally select two geometric entities of two different shapes that have previously been used to define a Slider joint and a Revolute joint.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the
Create Screw Joint button. - Select the Assembly → Create Screw Joint option from the menu.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: W.
- Press the
- The Create Joint dialog opens in the Task panel listing the pre-selected entities.
- For further steps see Assembly CreateJointFixed.
Notes
- Pitch radius refers to the pitch of a (lead) screw. It is stored in DataDistance and defines the translation per one turn of the screw.
