adding standard tap/screw sized to NX
adding standard tap/screw sized to NX
(OP)
Hi I am working on a project where I need to use metric tap sizes that are not in the standard list of taps (when creating a tapped hole feature) included with nx 7.5. I would like to append the NX default data with some standard sizes that I use frequently.
Does anyone have any experience with this/know how to do this?
Thanks,
Jacob

RE: adding standard tap/screw sized to NX
When I add the callout into my draft using a feature parameter a M4 X .7 hole comes through as M4 X .03 I checked the thread hole standards XML, but this .03 value doesn't seem to exist.
How can I get my callouts to read the correct value?

Unless you have a suggestion on how to fix this issue I will do these callouts by hand.
