Not possible to select certain threaded holes using Hole Callout
Not possible to select certain threaded holes using Hole Callout
(OP)
Hi all,
I am using NX9 (9.0.1.3).
There is a strange problem I am encountering. I have several threaded holes on a part. A Section View was generated from it. I used Hole Callout to dimension the threaded holes for 2D drawing. But one of the holes cannot even be selected. This is not the first time I have encounter this.
For details, please see attached file. Does anyone know how to fix it? I tried using Feature Parameter but nothing shows up.

The only thing I miss from SolidWorks is the ability to place thread size dimension anywhere along the thread easily. NX fixes the placement to one location only, and it's not changeable.
I know Hole Callout is new to NX 9, and it's a vast improvement over Feature Parameter, but I really hope Siemens would make it their top priority to make it work as well and as intuitive as SolidWorks'. Other than that, I love working in NX.
Thanks, again!

Any update on this? This is a serious day-to-day usability issue for us and has been since the feature parameter callout was introduced.
Thank you!
