Screw Data Selector

Screw Data Selector

Screw Data Selector

(OP)
While Hole Wizard is wonderful for the actual hole, it lacks some information that would be useful in deciding what size hole to use.  Fastener dimensions would be rather handy to have somewhere in SW.  I have a TAD Screw Data Selector, a sort of slide rule (Alvin also makes one).  I'd like to have exactly the same type of selector, but on my computer screen.  Sure, one can say "Machinery's Handbook CD", but that still doesn't present the screw data for a given size in one page the way the Screw Data Selectors do.

Has anyone ever seen a computer version of these selectors?
Anyone seen something like it inside SolidWorks?

RE: Screw Data Selector

I point alot of people to iCrank for screw data, I prefer the handbook personally.
