These properties specify the port properties.

Port 1 - Plain End – Type 1

The plain end does not add any additional graphics. This would be used if the end of, for example, Shape5 is to be threaded as a rod, or if the end is a stub, to be welded to some other object.

1000 – ExtThdRH

Enter the diameter of the plain end, for connecting to other components.

Enter the minimum amount that the plain end can penetrate a female threaded hole. (Minimum Thread Length)

Enter the maximum amount the plain end can penetrate a female threaded hole. (Maximum Thread Length)

1002 – ExtThdLH

1007 – Eye

Enter the "thickness" of the eye, which needs to be compared against the opening in the connecting item, to check if the thickness of the eye fits into the opening.

This value will be equal to Thickness1 (that is, the thickness of that rod end).

Enter the smallest size of pin or bolt that will fit inside the eye, usually zero.

Enter the largest pin or bolt that will fit inside the eye, Needs to be taken from the catalog specs.

The smallest pin or bolt that will fit inside the spade end’s hole, usually zero.

The largest pin or bolt that will fit inside the spade end’s hole, from the catalog specs.

Port 1 - Bolt End- Type 4

This would rarely be used in a strut as the end of the strut would be a bolt-head. The rod end codelist includes this option, so it is implemented for the strut as well. It may be useful to represent some types of threaded connections.

Port 1 - Nut (Female) End- Type 5

If the end of the strut is a female hole, threaded or not, use this type. The port orientation for this type is opposite to all of the other types, so it coincides with the orientation of the connected male threaded port.
