BSP threads??

BSP threads??

BSP threads??

(OP)
I have noticed no BSP thread forms are available. We have quite a lot of items that require BSP fittings. What do people use instead of BSP?? Or is there something downloadable to remedy this?

RE: BSP threads??

We type in the value ID/OD TPI etc to suit. As they're only used on certain fittings we seldom have to repeat the exercise.

Best Regards

RE: BSP threads??

(OP)
Thanks for that, it worked well. Another question I have is relating to hole callouts. Please forgive my ignorance, as I am a new user.... If i want to see a hole callout i add one by using the feature parameters command. This however, gives me nothing even close to what the hole callout is designated in the "NX502_THREADED_HOLE_STANDARD.XML" file.
Am i doing this wrong, or is there a better way to do this??
