editing INH directory file to make thread callouts decimal instead of fractional NX 7.5
editing INH directory file to make thread callouts decimal instead of fractional NX 7.5
(OP)
Hello,
I've looked around the forum and have found similar questions, which end up with the answer "Edit your INH file". However, nobody ever explains how exactly to edit these files in order to make this happen.
I have unchecked the read only parameter on the file, and opened "ansi.atp.prt" (we are only concerned with UNC threads as of now), and see the thread call out I should be editing (1 1/8 -7 UNC 2B). However, I do not see any way to edit this and actually make the changes work.
I have tried disabling the thread and adding a new one, however under symbolic thread all that comes up for callout is the same yellowed out box "1_1/8-7..." and there is no way to edit this. I have tried editing the annotation, which does not work (in drafting) and also tried to directly edit the text (which it calls out as 1 <R1!8> however there seems to be no way to actually change this that will save once i click close.
I would think that rather than editing this file that there would be a xml file or spreadsheet with all of the threaded hole call outs that I would have to edit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is company policy to use decimal thread call outs for UNC threads.
Thanks,
Mike

This may be helpful for someone down the line in my situation as it did solve the problem.
