Counterbored hole drill size.

Counterbored hole drill size.

(OP)
I'm following PTC Academy tutorial. In the upper portion of the attached image I show the Tutorial views and in the lower portion I show my setting the same, except that I cannot get access to the through hole drill size?

The only way I have found to get around this is to turn off Add Tapping, but that is not what the tutorial shows?

Am I missing something?

In any case it seems to me that if you select Counterbore hole that the default behavior should be to go to a clearance hole rather than a tapped hole.
