I'm sorry, but using YOUR version of the 'thd_metric.dat' file and YOUR part file, I've tested this using NX 7.0, NX 7.5 and NX 8.0, and in all cases it works just fine. Remember that you have to include the text BSPP to the end of the list of the symbolic threads at...

Customer Defaults -> Modeling -> Feature Settings -> Symbolic Threads

...as shown below:

Hi John,
thank you for the test.
This setting in the customer default is set, without this, as you can see in the video, I could not able to select BSPP.
Anyway there is a variable to tell to NX where is this file, maybe someone has deleted or changed this value.
I will investigate.

Thank you for the patience demonstrated.

Thank you...

Yes, there is a variable where you can point to a customizes version of the thread data table:

UGII_METRIC_THREADS= <path to your customized data file>

Since I tended to modify my thread files, I used the variable to point to my customized files so any updates would not overwrite my files if left in the default NX location.
