Head drilled hole in socket head screw formula in hardware library

Head drilled hole in socket head screw formula in hardware library

Head drilled hole in socket head screw formula in hardware library

(OP)
I am creaing hardware library for socket head screw having the condition
Drill 2 holes if screw size is 04 (.1120) and 06 (.1380)
Drill 6 holes if screw size 08 thru 16
I had inserted formula
SCREW_DRILL_HOLE_COUNT= IF(THD_MAJOR_DIA==.1120 || THD_MAJOR_DIA==.1380)1 ELSE 3. This formula works however drill holes not applicable on above screw size 16 and below size 04. What is the formula I have to use for this condition?

RE: Head drilled hole in socket head screw formula in hardware library

Assuming that you're going to use a 'Suppress by Expression' to remove the unwanted 'Screw Drill Holes', the logic statement would look like this (note that I only have information on number-size machine screws going up to #12, so in the formula I'm showing .XXXX as the major diameter of a #16 screw):

SUPPRESS_SCREW_DRILL_HOLE= IF(THD_MAJOR_DIA<.1120 || THD_MAJOR_DIA>.XXXX)0 ELSE 1
