Hello,
I have my hole callout format file set to make callouts for threaded holes as follows:
* Blind Hole
TAP-BLIND=<hw-threaddesc> - 6H X <hw-threaddepth> MIN FULL THREAD
* drilledand tapped thru
TAP-THRU(tt)=<hw-threaddesc> - 6H THRO
This yields the callouts we like to see on our drawings in most cases.
For example, a through hole tapped M6 will have a callout reading
M6-6H THRO
A blind hole with a 6mm deep thread will have a callout reading
M6-6H x 6 MIN FULL THREAD
The problem comes when I use the 'Up To Next' end condition in my hole wizard.
Solidworks sees this type of hole as a blind hole. So, for example, I drill and tap a hole through one side only of a piece of steel box section 100 x 100 x 8:
My callout reads M6-6H x 8 MIN FULL THREAD
I would like to modify my calloutformat.txt file to make the callout for an Up To Next hole read
M6-6H THRO
whilst keeping the blind hole callout as
M6-6H x 6 MIN FULL THREAD
How do I modify the calloutformat.txt file to achieve this?
