Thread callout

Thread callout

Thread callout

(OP)
A lot of searching on the forum and no results for my problem.
I am using NX8.5.1.3
I want to edit the callout standard for a thread in drafting when using the "Features Parameters"
When I use it, it does "1/2-13 UNC-2B"
I want to get rid oh the "UNC-2B"
We all know that 1/2-13 is UNC and 1/2-20 is UNF and the -2B class would just be confusing.
And most guys in the mold making business don't really care.
I found in the nx502_Threaded_Hole_Standard.xml file, I can eliminate the UNC by editing the "Threadform" parameter to ="" (at the end of the line)
I cannot figure out how to get rid of the class "-2B" part.
I have played with the inh_files but got no results. Probably because I cannot find out how to actually edit them to get the desired results.
Can someone please help?
Thank you.

RE: Thread callout

While the old 'inh_files' scheme will still be supported (for awhile anyway), starting with NX 9.0 we've implemented a totally new hole callout function that will be supported in both PMI and while adding annotation to Drawing views. Besides fully supporting the new TrueType/OpenType fonts, they will also provide you full access to the content and format of the hole callout, including the addition of details such as tap-drill size when annotating threaded-holes.
