There are a number of un-known's here.
what NX version is this ?
What feature type was used to create the pattern ? ( Pattern Feature, Pattern Face or Pattern Geometry or... ?
Does the model use a home made reference set or ...?
have the model been moved to a different layer in the drawing file ?
have the model been moved to a different layer in the model file ?

Toost,

using NX 11.
Used PATTERN FACE.
As am new to NX, dont know reference set. I simply created part without making any other chages.
No, I didnt make any changes to layers.

Hello,

it's no problem with drawing, but with model.
You create Pattern Face, and operations from Synchronous Modeling group don't work with thread.
You must use Pattern Feature like on second side, or pattern of point in sketch for Thread Hole(5).
I prefer this second options, but both are correct.

Best regards

Thank you all for inputs. It worked. Yes, Pattern face doesnt capture design intent.
