Feature parameter question

[dtharrett]

When I insert a feature parameter on to a drawing for c-bored holes NX gives me the thru hole dia, c-bore dia & c-bore depth. When I insert a feature parameter for a threaded hole, NX only gives me the thread portion of the callout (no depth). Is there a setting that will allow the feature parameter to insert the thread hole callout including the depth?

When you select the features for the dimensioning you will see both a hole feature and thread feature. You need to select both.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

I see what you are suggesting but that only gives me the drill hole depth. It the model we input both thread depth and dill depth but I only seem to get the hole depth with this method.

We have never supported the inclusion of the thread depth in the automatic notation. And if you want my advice, please contact GTAC and have them open an ER requesting that this entire scheme gets replaced with something that easier to set-up and use.
