Threaded Hole in NX6
Threaded Hole in NX6
(OP)
Please spare me the rant about NX6 being old, unsupported, etc. It's not my decision to still be using it...
That being said, I have created threaded holes in a part using the threaded hold feature or command in NX6. In NX7 and NX8, the holes always had a dashed circle around them on the surface that is pierced by the hole. I see no such circle on the solid model in NX6 nor in the corresponding view in drafting. When attempting to use the "Feature Parameters" command/feature in drafting to annotate the hole, all I get is a diameter. No depth, thread, etc. Our parent company has this system pretty locked down and customized so I'm assuming it's got something to do with them, but thought I'd see if anybody out here can help.

Riddle me this though, why then does the Feature Parameters method of putting a call out on a hole still not call out the depth unless I switch to ANSI mm when creating the Feature Parameter callout? In order for it to call out the depth I need to create a section.

I'd love to go to it, especially to meet you after having read your input on here for several years. In a strange twist of irony though, I will be flying out to San Diego that day and can't attend. I'll keep an eye out for the next one out here though. Thanks again for all your help.

Do you know of many companies in the Chicago area that need people with surfacing experience. My most recent work was in the golf industry and I would like to find something out this way that has the same surfacing challenges I faced while developing golf clubs. I don't expect you to give up names of companies, just wondering if you know if there are any out this way.
