Feature Parameters NX6
Feature Parameters NX6
(OP)
I'm new to NX so please forgive my ignorance;
I have generated a simple cylindrical shape (see attached) which has a couple of perpendicular threaded holes cut through one side only.
When I attempt to apply a threaded hole dimension using the Feature Parameter option I can navigate through the whole command succesfully, however, when it comes to generating the dimension I get the notification message in the bar across the top;
No Edge Of Correct Type
Could someone pelase advise what I'm doing wrong.
Also, as you can see from the attached file, the symbolic thread shows on the hole of which the section cuts through, however I am unable to get the symbolic thread showing on the hole in the 'background'.
Sorry for the poor quality image.
Cheers for the help.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

I was worried that was going to be the answer. I really don't like to put unassociative dimensions or notes on a drawing.
Would you happen to know why the symbolic thread is not showing?
Cheers

I've added another view and as you can see, In the un-sectioned view there is a representation for the thread.
However, in the section view this does not show.
To note, the hole is threaded thru

Make sure that on the Threads tab on the View Style dialog is not set to 'None'.

I have 2 holes 90degrees apart. The one that is actually 'cut' by the section view shows it's thread without problem, similar to yours. However, the hole that is in the 'background' and isn't cut by the section won't show the thread.
Hope I've explained myself there.
Cheers again
John.
