Male thread dimension in drafting

Male thread dimension in drafting

Male thread dimension in drafting

(OP)
Is there an option like hole callout for male thread dimensión? Or other way to automaticaly show in drafting the thread size and pitch that I have specificated in 3D environment for a male thread. Thanks.

RE: Male thread dimension in drafting

One of our guys discovered that the Hole Callout works for external threads too, but the format it displays isn't always correct.

Depending on your version of NX, you could use "Feature Parameters", but this is hidden in NX9, and will be going away.

Hello Gunman, thank you for your answer. I've tried to use hole callout but if I select this option of the drawing I can't select any lines of the external thread like I can select when I have thread holes. Is there any trick to make them selectable?

RE: Male thread dimension in drafting

This user had hidden lines shown when he showed me. In my testing, I had to hover over the hidden line, until I saw the thread feature show up.
