Male Threads (simplified) in part families
Male Threads (simplified) in part families
(OP)
Hello all,
I was just wondering how you guys handle Male Threads (simplified) when they are changed in Partfamilies.
Just altering the shaftdiameter isnt't changing the Threadsize and the other way around (change the threadsize) isn't working either...
Any workarounds?
Using NX8.5 Switching to NX9 shortly

It is basically confirming what I already concluded...you need to recreate the threadtables in your part family spreadsheet.
I had this discussion during the Beta test event here in Zürich as well. The testlead over there was expecting it should be no problem to have the same functionalities as with the threaded hole features. After all it wouldn't be anymore different than A Synchronous modeling action which is stacked upon the original feature (in this case an extrusion or boss)

Indeed, I think the best way for now would be to recreate the thread table in the PF spreadsheet.
I also came up with the idea to create a Dummy Threaded Hole (no bolean) and use it's feature expressions (Pitch,angle, minor and major diameter) to control the manual entries for the Male Thread.
In such a way I can control the Dummy Threaded hole feature in the part family spreadsheet which in sequence would then control my Male threads...
