Metric hole on fraction hole table
Metric hole on fraction hole table
(OP)
I have a part that uses both fraction and metric holes. We use fractions 90% of the time with the hole wizard, but whenever we use Häfele Minifix cams on parts we use "ANSI Metric" instead of "Fractional Drill Sizes".
There is no problem using metric and fractional holes on the same part, but there is a problem using both with hole tables. I haven't fingered out a way to do this; any of you found a work-around?
Here is a pdf in case that was confusing: htt p://paul-f lores.com/ downloads/ fraction_m etric_hole _table.PDF
Notice the note we have to put on there; I know it is wrong to do this but we send the DXF to our in-house wood working guy.

RE: Metric hole on fraction hole table
I have a text file on my desktop that I keep with pre-formatted hole wizard notes. I just cut and paste into my details to get the hole callouts we like to use. Works for 95% of the holes in my hole tables.
Makes short work of creating hole tables.
