Countersink on both sides of hole in NX?

[shightower]

Hello, I'm using NX 2406.7000 and am attempting to add a countersink on both sides of a hole. In the Hole command, I see that I can select Counterbored and it adds the counterbore on one side. Is it possible to have the counterbore added to both sides? That would be my main preference/goal.

I have some flat parts and I was able to do an extrude and subtract material from the back side and that makes the part look OK.

I tried the same thing on some curved parts, but I couldn't get the extrude to work. I then added the same countersink hole command to the back-side of the hole and it looks OK in the model.

While the model looks OK for the curved parts, I get an alert in the drawing when I try to add the Hole and Thread callout. The model is fully loaded, but I still get this alert.



Any recommendations for a fix? Thanks

Are you getting this alert on all the holes or just the ones modified with the counterbore/sink on the backside?

Let's assume that you are getting this alert on a normal, unmodified hole. Whatever you have done to fully load the part is not enough in the eyes of NX. I suggest that you right click the desired part in the assembly navigator and use "open in window". The part will be made the display and work part and you will be able to see/edit the features in the feature navigator. The part is certainly fully loaded now. Without closing the part, switch back to the drawing file and try the hole callout command again. If you get the same alert, open a support ticket.

All of the holes in this part are counterbore. I'm only getting this alert on parts that have curved/formed surfaces. I also made sure that the part was fully loaded and I'm still getting this alert.
