Converting thread milling cycle to linear output

[Nessy01]

Afternoon Chaos

I notice a few had asked this question and wondered if anybody had come up with an answer yet?

Am conducting ID thread milling trials which need de-tanging and OD thread turning trials which also require de-tanging.

So far I have tried (in NX only) 'detailed' and 'symbolic' thread cycle but can not convert to linear, which our post requires.

Fixed contour, surface area works ok but to de-tang the threads I need to know the exact start/finish point of the thread.

Can anyone throw me any ideas?

Thanks in advance
