Tap with spotface NX7.5

Tap with spotface NX7.5

(OP)
What is the best way to do a tapped hole with a spotface in NX7.5 ?

I thought Screw Hole Series would be the way to go, but I can't quite get that to work.
I will do two seperate holes if I need to but that is a bit of a pain.

RE: Tap with spotface NX7.5

Think of the manufacturing process. It is 2 operations, well 3 or even 4, if you spot drill.
Operation 1 is the spot face to create the flat surface.
Operation two is the spot or cnter drill for hole location. (may be skipped with a good drill)
Operation three is the tap drill to depth.
Operation four is the tapping of the hole. NX combines 3 and 4 into a single operation.
