    Diameter and Radial Dimension Preference

    I would agree typically, but I'm working for a separate division, all my prints go to local suppliers and they are used to reading 3rd angle projection ASME prints not 1st angle projection ISO prints so nobody outside of myself and the manufacturer and our inspection department will ever look at...

    Diameter and Radial Dimension Preference

    I'm working for a German company which has preferences set up in the drawing upon creation of a new drawing (must be in the drawing format). What I'm looking to do is to eventually create a macro that will set up the drawings in the manner which I prefer to see things. I have been able to...

    Threaded Hole in NX6

    Thanks for the head's up. The Purdue one might work, but I don't know if it would be attended by as many Chicago companies at the Chicago one. Maybe I'll just send my wife to the Chicago one with a handful of my resumes... Do you know of many companies in the Chicago area that need people with...

    Threaded Hole in NX6

    Somehow I knew you were going to mention that... I'd love to go to it, especially to meet you after having read your input on here for several years. In a strange twist of irony though, I will be flying out to San Diego that day and can't attend. I'll keep an eye out for the next one out here...

    Threaded Hole in NX6

    Thanks again for all the help/answers. I appreciate it. I've been told that we can't call GTAC due to the fact that we either bought the software or the licenses in Germany thru our parent company. I can't find anybody who can get me the sold to ID. I am one of two people at this location that...

    Threaded Hole in NX6

    Thanks again for the catch on that. Another lovely 'default' set up by parent company... Riddle me this though, why then does the Feature Parameters method of putting a call out on a hole still not call out the depth unless I switch to ANSI mm when creating the Feature Parameter callout? In...

    Threaded Hole in NX6

    Well, since you're on PST and I'm CST I played around with it for a while and found out that it works as expected only when I create a section of a hole. It must be some ISO standard type of thing I guess. Maybe ISO standards dictate that all holes be shown in a cross section or something? Not...

    Threaded Hole in NX6

    Also, the solid line around the tap drill hole is usually a dashed line. Can't figure out why it's solid.

    Threaded Hole in NX6

    Thanks for the help. I was able to get a solid line to appear around the tap drill hole in the part now and able to get M4 to show up when I try to use Insert--Feature Parameters now. But there's still no depth component to the M4 callout as there was the last time I used the feature. Maybe it...

    Threaded Hole in NX6

    BTW... same thing happens with counterbored, countersunk, any hole... all it does is put in the diameter, no CB, CS, depth data or anything.

    Threaded Hole in NX6

    If you're not seeing it, then I'm fairly certain that it's due to my parent company across the pond running the admin of the software and customizing all defaults. We aren't running TCE either. Using Agile PLM so I'm not sure how to export it other than doing a 'save as' to local directory. How...

    Yes, but thanks for the suggestion.

    Threaded Hole in NX6

    Please spare me the rant about NX6 being old, unsupported, etc. It's not my decision to still be using it... That being said, I have created threaded holes in a part using the threaded hold feature or command in NX6. In NX7 and NX8, the holes always had a dashed circle around them on the...
