Hello everyone!
I have been working almost a year on solidworks 2011 for my company and I am now trying to set up company standards in the templates, custom ISO and hole wizard.
It is still very new and fresh to me so I must have missed something at some point.
I already made new standards under the company name for counterbored and countersunk holes but I meet a problem concerning the hole wizard tapped hole.
My problem is that I can't find all the data concerning the tapped holes. For example I can't change the depth, and more problematic I can't add custom tapped hole. I'd like to add M2.3 to our standards as we are using it sometimes, so I added to the database via the toolbox as I did for counterbored holes. The problem is that the only tables linked to the tapped holes are "sizes" and "thread data" whereas I could see much more for the counterbored holes. As a result when I want to pick M2.3 from the tapped holes an error occurs "M2.3 thread data could not been found" and I can't make the hole.
Is there a problem with my installation? Did I miss some tables?
Looking forward hearing from you guys.
Antoine
Thanks for the threads, I'll try these when I get back to work next week.
EDIT :
Hi everyone, I found the source of my problem: the fullsize was M1.4x0.3 instead of just M1.4 that I declared, so the hole wizard couldn't find the thread data.
As a conclusion the previous pdf is working and you must keep the "size" in the size file and the "fullsize" in the thread data to the same value.
Cheers and thanks for the help.
