Threaded hole

[skanskan]

Hi.

Is the threaded hole supposed to create a hole with a thread?

If not, and if I use later the "thread" command to add a thread, How does the kind of hole (general vs threaded) affect to the final hole+thread result?

Regards

As far as Drafting is concerned, you will get the same result visually in eitehr case. However, at least for 'female' threads, it's recommended that you use the 'Threaded Hole' option of the normal 'Hole' feature function. In NX 9.0 we've added some new hole callout annotation functions to both regular Drafting and PMI and for threaded holes this will really only work with the 'Threaded Hole' feature and not the 'Symbolic' thread added to an existing hole, which is what we had to do prior to NX 5.0.
