Using NX8.5
When I use Feature parameters for a screw hole it gives me say "1/4-20 (depth).50"
But when I use it for a tapered NPT thread, I get "1/8-(depth).39"
Is it possible to get 1/8 NPT-(depth).39 ?
I don't have any problem getting the NPT designation using NX 8.5 and the Feature Parameter function, as shown below, however the thread/inch is meaningless when specifying pipe threads:
Now starting with NX 9.0, the new Hole Callout function did a much better job:
