Standard Holes
Standard Holes
(OP)
I was wondering if there is a way to expand the standard hole library. I recently created a part and wanted to add an NPT tapped hole but found no way of doing it.
Thanks,
David

MODIFYING THE .HOL FILES
The standard hole dialog box was added by PTC in an attempt to provide it's customer base with an editable file for which commonly used hole types could be customized by the user to fit their particular design needs. The purpose of the standard hole dialog box and associated files was NOT intended to supply the customer base with a series of holes that should be used in every design. Additional modifications and improvements to this standard hole dialog box is currently being investigated by PTC.
The configuration file option "hole_parameter_file_path" can be used to create a custom .hol file which can be displayed in the hole creation dialog box and should be set up as follows:
1.) Copy one of the .hol files located in the load point/text/hole directory and rename it.
2.) Open the new file and change the value of the "THREAD_SERIES" parameter in the "TABLE_DATA" area to the name of the new .hol file and save the file.
3.) Place the new file in the desired directory.
4.) Set the configuration file option "hole_parameter_file_path" to the full path of the new folder that contains the new hole file.
5.) Restart Pro/ENGINEER. (Pro/ENGINEER must be restarted in order for these changes to take effect).
