Thread Feature Depth in IDW

How can you display the thread depth of a hole when using the hole callout function within an idw?

No mechanism to recover this parameter explicitly. You can edit the text of
the thread note, and pull in the parameter in the text editor, or just
dimension it 🙂

I apologize, I mis-read your post.

My response is relevent for THREAD features.

If you have a TAPPED HOLE feature, you can recover thread depth
automatically. You can do this at the style level, or by editing the hole
note. Just use the "Thread Depth Vlaue" variable token. See attached.

You were correct. I have a hole that I am placing NPT taps. The depth within the idw does not show up. Thanks for the reply...

Generally, you don't need to call out the thread depth of an NPT tap, as it is a function of the pipe tap size.

We use flush pipe plugs here and we have to ensure that the thread depth is min L4 depth so that the plug will be at flush if not below flush. At any rate the thread depth will not show up in the idw wether it be npt, bsp or any other thread feature that is placed.
