Hole parameter call out in Drafting on an Assembly

Hole parameter call out in Drafting on an Assembly

Hole parameter call out in Drafting on an Assembly

(OP)
I am creating Assembly Drawings, in NX6, for a customer and it is necessary to flag out some Tapped holes on the Drawing.

Is there a method of flagging a parts' hole parameters in an Assembly Drawing?  (I know, but the customer wants it!)

It's popcorn when detailing individual parts in Drafting, but it doesn't seem possible to grab the information in the Assembly.
Is there a 'tricky' way to get this parameter information onto the Drawing, aside from making it a note?

Thanks,
Nihy  

RE: Hole parameter call out in Drafting on an Assembly

OK, with your Assembly Drawing open, go to...

Insert -> Feature Parameters...

...and when the dialog opens you will see a 'tree-structure' diagram with the assembly as a 'node'.  Expand this node and any others until you're down to the component which actually contains the hole that you're attempting to document.  With this component selected you will see a list of features (you will need to expand the feature list) which call-outs can be created for.  Now select any and all features that you wish to document from the list, going to the next dialog step (Select views), select the view(s) which you wish to see the hole parameter call-out in (note that the hole needs to actually be visible in the selected view(s) since if it can't be seen due to being hidden, no hole parameter call-out will be created).
