Symbolic thread change

Symbolic thread change

Symbolic thread change

(OP)
Hi, all

I create a Pin Part, it has a thread hole and a symbolic thread shaft.
In Expression, defined below,,
D=12
M=if(D<=12)(8) else if(D<=16)(10) else (12)
TH_SPEC=IF(M=8)("M8 x 1.25") ELSE IF(M=10)("M10 x 1.5") ELSE ("M12 x 1.75")

and then connect TH_SPEC to Thread Hole thread size,,

It's good,,,

If I change "D" value, and then the thread hole size changed automatically,,,

But, I don't know How to change the Shaft Symbolic thread,,,,
I want the shaft thread size is same value change to thread hole size("M" value),,,,,
Please see the attached file,,,

RE: Symbolic thread change

Edit that feature and approx. 3/4 down the menu check "on" Manual Input and then you can edit the expressions.
This has probably been updated and made better in the later versions of NX.

thanks,, Jerry,,
Manual Input is very good,,,

RE: Symbolic thread change

Isn't this happening automatically when you change the diameter of the shaft?
