Modify hole values
Modify hole values
(OP)
Hi all,
I want to addd the dimensions of a threaded hole to a family table. ie. M16, pitch 2, tap drill size....I can't do this however as they are not modifyable values.
The only way I can find to modify a tapped holes thread size is to redefine it. This in itself is fine too, but I'd like to be able to put the tag for that paramater for that thread size on my family table.
Has anyone worked out how to do this?
Cheers in advance
Hayden

RE: Modify hole values
Have you thought about a UDF for the hole and manually adding the parameters for the UDF to a table?

I've tried to apply these to a relation so I can drive them but I'm not too sure how this can be done, the parameter is THREAD_DIAMETER. How, though would you apply that so that the relation knows which thread diameter top pick up on. Ie if you have two threadrd holes in your part.
I tried things like:
THREAD_SIZE=id_xxx(THREAD_DIAMETER)
THREAD_SIZE=feat_id_xxx(THREAD_DIAMETER)
No matter what I couldn't get anything to work.
RE: Modify hole values
This is just a guess; have a look at the syntax used in the .hol files. I am assuming that you are using the hole feature to create your threaded holes? You might be able to drive your table based on the data stored in these files. I am assuming here-that I understand fully what you are trying to do.

Thanks for the tip-had no idea you could access thread parameters so easily through family tables.
