I have a hole tapped from both sides. I did a hole tapped to a depth but drilled through and added a thread feature at the other end. I had changed the hole (from 7/8-9 to 1-8) but the note on the drawing was attached to the thread feature. I would like to set it up so that the thread feature will automatically be the same as the thread on the hole. I don't get any errors saying that the hole is the wrong size for the thread, and both ends of the hole look the same (which I find somewhat disturbing).
I need to link the threads together.
At the very least it should look wrong, and hopefully complain that it's wrong, but I would much rather have access to these features so I can control them better.
I might do the hole part way through on each side, the "Through" designation will be "not correct" but your threads will be.
I guess one could argue a hole drilled and taped on each end is really two threaded holes (assuming the threads don't go all the way through)
If you change the one side, it will show up quickly on the drawing that the holes are different. It would be nice to link them though. At least the threads will match the holes.
Not really what you were looking for.
tried to reproduce, but I get errors for my thread if I change the hole size and have to change the specs on my thread.
I don't know ilogic, but I suspect there may be some way to do this in there? Set up a rule that would force the thread designations to match?
Anyone? Curtis?
