Inch threaded hole is 3/8" in 3D, but 5/8" in 2D dimension?
Inch threaded hole is 3/8" in 3D, but 5/8" in 2D dimension?
(OP)
Hello all.
I am doing a threaded hole in 3D model that is using Inch NPS standard. The Ø size is 3/8-NPS.
When I try to dimension it in drawing it show only 5/8 as mostly closed option to 3/8 of 3D model.
Why this occurs? How to dimension it as 3/8 in drawing?

BTW, you should really update to at least NX 9.0 where we've made the proper annotation of any sort of hole, threaded or otherwise, including pipe-threads, much easier and straight forward.

In decimal inch format the dimension is OK.
About NX version, the company should update our software in a few days to NX 9. Until there I just have 7.5 available.

Lets see what NX9 can do for me.
Many thanks for all.
