Is there a reason why the Inch UN Standard in the NX9 Hole Command does not include all sizes?

Quick question to those that may know, any reason why the Inch UN sizes available in NX9 are truncated? Have a drawing of early 80s vintage that calls for a 15/16-16 UN-2B threaded hole. Or am I going to plunk down some cash for the ANSI/ASME B1.1 Standard?

RE: Is there a reason why the Inch UN Standard in the NX9 Hole Command does not include all sizes?

The only 15/16-16 thread that UG/NX has ever supported was the 0.9375-16 UNJ thread, which we still support today.

From what I can find on the net, it appears that at best, 15/16 threads are not considered part of the 'Unified' standard except as a secondary entry and even then, it only supported as a 15/16-20 UNEF.

MASawtell, at any rate you can freely customize the tables and add whatever threads or sizes you need.

John, thanks for the follow up. As always, the task of modeling up decades designs can take some very odd turns.

PrintScaffold... if I admin rights, that would be an option.
