Hole feature on a metric part

Hole feature on a metric part

Hole feature on a metric part

(OP)
Is there a way to place a hole feature (defined in english units: in.) in a metric part???

Whenever I try to insert a 1/2" bolt hole in my model, I get a 0.5mm hole instead.

Never Mind... I got it.

Turns out the units were set up for in, even thought the values entered were "suppoesed to be" mm.

RE: Hole feature on a metric part

I created a block, change units to mmNs, Insert-Hole, Selected clearance hole UNC for a 1/2-13 bolt and it created a 33/64 (13.10) hole in my block.
