I'm using SW 2014. I have a design table set up to control the type of tapped hole I'm placing on my part. I'm experiencing two different problems.
First problem is the hole callout on the drawing. The tapped hole appears to be correct in the model but the callout insists on naming it a #2-56 hole everytime on the print, even if the hole is a #4-40 or #6-32 or whatever. Why is that happening and what can I do to fix it?
The second problem is I can't get any metric tapped hole to reflect on the model. I've checked the size name several times and am sure that is correct. When I try to verify the hole in the part I get an error claiming the size cannot be found. Why is that happening and what can I do to fix it?
Any guidance to either question will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

First Question:
Check that "With thread callout" is enabled for each configuration (see image below)
Second Question:
Recommend you create two SEPARATE Hole Wizard Features in your tree and add a Feature Suppression state for each of those HW features in your design table to drive imperial vs. metric.
The reason is that SW uses an Excel "named list" to drive the different SIZES of the Hole Wizard feature. This size is based on the hole TYPE selected in the Hole Specification property manager and SW would have two separate lists for Imperial and Metric holes. So, if you use a metric hole spec in your design table for a feature that is driven by an imperial "hole type" selection, you would get an error since SW will be unable to match the metric spec to the list of imperial data it develops.
