Hey,

I have a few parts that I'm modeling based off of engineering drawings that were given to me.  On the drawings holes are specified such as "#4-40" and "1/4-20"

All I am interested in is creating a hole that has the correct diameter (as in the [maximum if threaded] diameter of the actual hole that will be eventually cut).  I don't care to see threads or anything

The hole wizard cuts a hole of diameter 0.0890 in for the #4-40 and .201 in for the 1/4-20.  I am not sure if these are the diameters that the hole is supposed to be or if they are supposed to be d=0.112 for the #4-40 and d=0.250 for the 1/4-20.

Do I want the hole sizes to be as they are by default in the wizard or do I need to edit the diameters to 0.112 and 0.250 respectively?

Thanks.
