Are you sure that you're not talking about a Counter-Bored CLEARANCE HOLE? A Counter-Bored 'General Hole' does NOT have a 'Neck Chamfer' option, whereas the Counter-Bored Clearance Hole does.

However, if you ARE talking about Counter-Bored Clearance Holes, if you set the 'Fit' option to 'Custom' in the Form and Dimensions section of the dialog, you will then be able to edit the various 'Chamfer' sizes as well as the actual dimensions of the Counter-Bore and the Clearance Hole.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Thanks a lot John, I went in and changed the neck chamfer in the clearance hole in the custom fit menu and now my counterbored general hole works too, KInda screwy huh? but everything works so I'm soooo happy.
Thanks again.

I'm glad you found the solution to your problem, but it's still a bug since that setting should have NO effect whatsoever on the General Hole since the the Neck Chamfer option is ONLY available with the Clearance Hole. However, don't worry about it since I'll take care of the PR.

No need for ANY of us to worry about this, as it appears to have been fixed in NX 7.5.0.x.
