MOLDWIZARD NX6 - cannot set tap drill dia on auto screw
(OP)
Hello everybody! For CAM reasons, I am trying to adapt the tap_drill_dia parameter of auto screws to our bore standards.
I am not able to change it though: everytime I change the parameter (for example, from the standard part window) it seems to adapt itself to the thd_metric.dat value... Even if I have changed that table!
Have you got any hint about it?

Anyway, I have attached the xls file driving the screw component. You can see the tap drill is pulled from VAR part (under your TOP assembly) by default, and I entered it mannually for the metric sizes.

I have noticed before that the tap_drill_dia was pulled from the var file. That's why I have customized the var file (see picture attached). Still, I cannot keep the change I have done. For example, if within the var file I have a value of 10.2 for the M12 screw, the value on the screw is always 10.5792. I do not understand where this value comes from.

Just to clarify, there is an expressoin TAP_DRILL_DIA in the screw component, and it does NOT match
a) the driving xls file (M12=10.2 in your picture),
b) the VAR file (M12=10.2 in your picture), or
c) the thd_metric.dat file (M12=?)
Is that correct? What value are you getting?

Standard threads for Moldwizard screws are place under the library of moldwizard, in the "templates" folder. It is an excel file named thread_standard_dat.xls
Thank you very much for your help, in any case!
