special tapped hole?
special tapped hole?
(OP)
I want to make an M8x1.0 tapped hole using Hole Wizard. I want to use Hole Wizard instead of just adding a cosmetic thread because I want to use my hole callout definition file in the drawing. Is there a way to add a special tapped hole to Hole Wizard?

FWIW, I have made many, many edits to the ansiinch.mdb file in order to add hole wizard thread types/sizes. I do agree with APPENG, in that SldWks by no means recomends this. I would also note that I am making my changes to a backed up file. As well as NOT making changes to the [default.mdb] file.
:
C:\Program Files\SolidWorks\lang\english\AnsiInch.mdb
edit the Tap and Thrd tables to add threads to the DB

This is working well for me. As I am by no means willing to wait for SldWks to address this issue :) Some of us are just "funny" that way :)

Hey, if you never try to break it, you may never get to re-install SW or your OS....
