Thread command in NX5
Thread command in NX5
(OP)
I have question relating to the creation of threads within NX5 and the associated drawing.
When modeling a threaded shaft with the symbolic thread option on I can get NX5 to make the note associative within the related 2D drawing. (insert-feature parameters)
When modeling a threaded shaft with the detailed thread option on I can't get NX5 to make the note associative within the related 2D drawing. (insert-feature parameters)
Any reason why I should be able to associate the drafting text (eg. 'M2 x0.4') to a symbolic thred but not a detailed one??

RE: Thread command in NX5
Thats great, now I can produce drawings with a bit more detail (useful for my M22 threads), without creating the M22 detailed thread on the model. (and the subsequent larger CAD file!) I didn't realise that option existed.
