Default drill point angle

Default drill point angle

Default drill point angle

(OP)
Hi folks
Anyone know if there is a way to change the default hole shape for drill point angle from 118° to 130°?
Thanks

RE: Default drill point angle

You can edit many hole settings in hole tables as described in the following from PTC.com:

There is no setting for the drill point angle but I thought it could be useful in other areas. The only way I know of for sure to achieve what you want to use a UDF rather than a hole. A bit more time consuming during first creation but definitely the most powerful. A good place to start might be the learning exchange and search for UDF. A couple of descent intro tutorials can be found there. Here is another link:

Hope that helps,
