Using Expressions to drive Thread sizes
Using Expressions to drive Thread sizes
(OP)
I want to set up an If_Then_Else statement in NX6.0 that drives symbolic thread callouts. The input would the the tap-drill diameter. Basically, I need to know if it is even possible to control the callouts via expressions. And if so, what would the "then" argument be?
Thanks.
Thanks.

In other words all the thread sizes that you have the potential of using would be present in the model but only one of them would be toggled "on".

Of the four expressions listed for the thread the second one is the only one that will need to be changed.
