PMI + feature parameter

[helperug]

I'm looking at PMI how to add the thread dimensions to thread like feature parameters in drafting - what is the way to put this feature parameter to thread in PMI?
Thanks in advance

Since most the characteristics of a Threaded Hole are captured as Expressions (both String for the call-outs and numerical for the parameters) you could always create a PMI note which references these same Expressions.

BTW, a little known feature; if you go into the Expression system and you edit the String Expression which is tagged as the 'Thread Size' and you enter a valid 'thread size' callout string, this will be sufficient to edit the thread and ALL of it's parameters. What this means is that it's now very easy to control the size of a Threaded Hole feature from the Expression system without having to edit and update all of the numerical parameters indivually.

thank you John,
I thought about an automation getting the callout information.
