How to Change hole features

[bjohnson86]

Hello all, Happy New Year!. I have a quick NX 6.0 question.

I created threaded holes using the hole feature in NX 6.0. How can I change the holes to become smooth bore. When I click on the holes, I have the option to change the size (right now they in inc UNC units)however, I do not have the option to change from threaded hole to simple hole. All the other hole options, besides the threaded hole option, are 'greyed out'.

Thanks you,

Brandon

Brandon,

The simple answer, you can't.

See this thread.

If you use promote body instead of WAVE the threads will be included in your new part.

You will not however get a promoted mirrored body in the same way that you can a linked mirrored one. It seems to me like the logical way forward is to request an enhancement if this behaviour really affects you a lot.
