Changing hole type

[marksummers]

I am using NX 7.5 and I am trying to change a hole type from "threaded hole" to "screw clearance hole". When I double click on the hole feature to edit it, the other hole options are dimmed out.

Any ideas?

That capability was not implemented until NX 8.0.

It turns out that this functionality has been turned off by the CAD administrator. weird...

I stand corrected. Thank you John!

To avoid create again a complex sketch, you can do the following steps

- make external the sketch
- delete the threaded hole
- create a screw clearance hole and select the sketch
- make the sketch internal
