I would like to modify/add a database to hole wizard that would allow for me to add dowels with a slightly smaller thru hole after the dowel hole. If possible, I would like to add this under the dowel section so it does not affect our hole callouts when detailing. Essentially what I'd like to do is create a counterbore hole with the head being the dowel size, the depth being 1.5x the dowel size, and the "screw clearance" being the smaller thru hole.
No, as I want preconfigured sizes for different dowels. I simply want to be able to select my option and have everything there. As it stands right now, I need to create 2 features, 1 for my thru hole, and then another blind dowel hole. I want to create a single feature for both of these, and have preconfigured standards, as we have standardized our dowel ream depths. If I were to use the legacy hole option, I would need to manually type all of those values each time I wanted to use a different dowel size.
If I understand what you are trying to do, it may be difficult.
We have some custom hole call outs, and I have modified our calloutformat.txt file to meet those needs.
Though, I'm not sure you could add a multiplier to a dimension in that file and have it work like you want.
You could add some text to the file stating what you want directly in the calloutformat.txt file (make sure to make a backup before modifying it) , but having it calculate the dimensions based on a multiplier may not be possible.
I posted a link to some other threads a little while ago that may be of some help:
calloutformat.txt - <hw-fsttyp> - Is there away to abbreviate this?
Good luck and let us know if you figure out a solution to this.
Edit to Add:
I just saw Kelvin's post... Follow his instructions before you go editing the calloutformat.txt file.
Have you tried using the Legacy Hole > Counterdrilled option?
