In NX 7.5 is possible. When you are in Drafting go to Feature Parameters - it is located in Dimension bar ( use Command Finder if you cant find it ) select feature ( thread ) select view and click ok.
Hi, I've also been wanting to do this. I followed your instruction but nothing happened. Is it supposed to add the dimension, or do I then need to add a dimension once it has been flagged?
Thanks
After short search I found it, thank you vary much. It is quite a work for simple dimension of thread but it is possible.
@FORMDES
here is more specific instructions:
1. click on "feature parameters" icon in "dimension toolbar" or Insert/Dimension/Feature Parameters,
2. in desired projected view select only tread lines
3. in window that opened click on "select view" icon than select edges of projected view with tread
4. click OK
VOILA, here it is. It seems that it is easier to write "M" manually than do this
If you want to use the "write M" method, Press "left arrow" on your keyboard when you have selected the object(s) but before placing the dimension. It will open the "appended text before" dialog box.
