Thanking you

RE: Representation of Thru threaded hole in drawing

You will have to change the calloutformat.txt file run a search here on that, it's been discussed before. To find location and how to change it. example - Thread559-62976

As for using a symbol SW must have that symbol available to use it. If you select a Callout in a drawing you get and option in the property manager called "Variables". Select that and you will see a list of available symbols you can place in a Callout. Place that symbol callout in the place(s) you want it to show up in your calloutformat.txt file.

I didn't follow your reply???

But if you need others to use the same file calloutfile then you will need to copy to each station or move the file to the server and change the file location under yout Tool\Options.

RE: Representation of Thru threaded hole in drawing

If the person you are sending the drawing to needs to add hole callouts to the drawing, they will need the file.

I do not think you need to send the calloutformat.txt file with the file for someone to read.
