Dimensioning threads.
Dimensioning threads.
(OP)
Although I'm quite sure of the answer, is there any way to automatically apply the correct annotation to a thread in drafting rather a manual annotation entry? Or do I need KF or grip?
Best regards

RE: Dimensioning threads.
In NX5, you can use "Insert, Feature parameters" in drafting, although this may not put in the thd callout the way you want it.

RE: Dimensioning threads.
can I add the metric M to the options in the dimension style ?
Or does anybody know another (quicker) solution?

RE: Dimensioning threads.
The other way to go about it is to use the feature parameters tool which allows you to select the thread and the view and formats the text to suit. Depending on the standard you chose the results can differ, so try out some examples to check for yourself first.
Now I mentioned the manual method first because the second merely automates that process of changing preferences to suit the task. The results are otherwise identical.
