Hi,
Recently during a review process of an large assy one of my collouges drawing was rejected due to wrong drill size on a M6 threaded hole, it was created with the hole feature tool and selected from the "built in" list of threads under Metric Coarse.
A M6 x 1.0 with a Radial Engage of 0.75 is specifed with a Tap drill size of 5.2 and a M6 x 1.0 with a Radial Engage of 0.5 is specifed with a Tap drill size of 5. To me this seems to be in the wrong order, a higher engage should result in a smaller tap drill hole and this seems to be rule for all other Metric Coarse threads.
I have checked the defining file for the thread and it seems to be correct:
...UGII\modeling_standards\nx502_Threaded_Hole_Standard.xm
<ThreadedHole ThreadForm="M Profile" EndChamferAngle="45" EndChamferDiameter="6" StartChamferAngle="45" StartChamferDiameter="6" ReliefChamferOffset="0.4" ReliefChamferAngle="45" ReliefTipAngle="118" ReliefDepth="3" ReliefDiameter="6" HoleTipAngle="118" ThreadDepth="9" HoleDepth="12" Callout="M6_x_1.0" Method="CUT" EndCondition="0" Tapered="0" NumStarts="1" Angle="60" Pitch="1" TapDrillDia="5" MinorDiameter="4.891" MajorDiameter="6" ScrewFit="Normal (H13)" ScrewSize="M6" ScrewType="General Screw Clearance" ScrewStandard="ISO" RadialEngage="0.75" Size="M6 x 1.0" Unit="Metric" Standard="Metric Coarse"/>
<ThreadedHole ThreadForm="M Profile" EndChamferAngle="45" EndChamferDiameter="6" StartChamferAngle="45" StartChamferDiameter="6" ReliefChamferOffset="0.4" ReliefChamferAngle="45" ReliefTipAngle="118" ReliefDepth="3" ReliefDiameter="6" HoleTipAngle="118" ThreadDepth="9" HoleDepth="12" Callout="M6_x_1.0" Method="CUT" EndCondition="0" Tapered="0" NumStarts="1" Angle="60" Pitch="1" TapDrillDia="5.2" MinorDiameter="4.891" MajorDiameter="6" ScrewFit="Normal (H13)" ScrewSize="M6" ScrewType="General Screw Clearance" ScrewStandard="ISO" RadialEngage="0.5" Size="M6 x 1.0" Unit="Metric" Standard="Metric Coarse"/>
So somehow the NX hole feature seems to either grab parameters from somewhere else or this is small programing bug. I have try to change this file so the drill tap size for the M6 x 1.0 is the wrong order but that did not do anything. Maybe NX ,when using it with Teamcenter, collect feature parameters globally from Teamcenter instead of locally on my harddrive.
Any thoughts about what I can do?
