Dimensioning Symbols
Basic Dimensioning Guidelines and Rules Dimensioning Screw Threads
Screw threads are dimensioned according to the standards ANSI Y14.6 and ANSI Y14.6aM (Metric). For standard screw threads called out on mechanical drawings, the major diameter is identified, followed by the number of threads per inch and the thread form, series, and class of fit. The end of the screw threads is chamfered at a 45 angle unless specified otherwise. An external thread is designated by the A following the class of fit, whereas an internal thread is classified as a B thread (A partial thread table is displayed on the next slide).

Basic Dimensioning Guidelines and Rules Dimensioning Screw Threads
Perfect screw threads cannot be formed up snug against a perpendicular shoulder, such as the under side of a bolt head. If the bolt is intended to advance into the receiving tapped hole all the way to the head, the last two or three threads are often removed, or relieved, to avoid a conflict with imperfect threads.

Basic Dimensioning Guidelines and Rules Dimensioning Internal Screw Threads
An internal thread is usually called out in the circular view of the tapped hole. The minor diameter of the thread is represented by a solid object line, whereas the major diameter of the thread is represented by a hidden line. The dimension leader line is always radial and attaches to the solid line.
