Convert simple holes into threaded holes
Convert simple holes into threaded holes
(OP)
Hi,
double-clicking on a (simple) hole feature does not allow me to redefine the hole as a threaded hole on NX 7.5. Now since there are a few holes in my models that now need threads, what is the fastest way to convert?

RE: Convert simple holes into threaded holes
1) Upgrade to at least NX 8.0 and then edit your 'General Holes' converting them to 'Threaded Holes'.
2) Delete the holes and start over.
3) Go to...
Insert -> Design Feature -> Thread...
...and add separate 'Thread' features to your existing 'General Holes'.

If you before deleting RMB the holes in the partnavigator and "Make Sketch external", then recreating the new holes is a matter of seconds since you have all the points left.
