How do you add a tap size to the hole wizard? 1

I just got bit today by the hole wizard limitations. I wanted a 1-5/16 -12 tapped hole (for a Swagelok) but since it was not in the hole wizard, I put in its place a 1-1/4 -12 tapped hole thinking that I would just modify the callout manually in the drawing. Guess what? I forgot and the part was made with the wrong size hole. I do not want this to happen again, so I want to add this tap to the hole wizard. I looked at the "calloutformat.txt" file, but it appears to be formatting only, I saw no numeric values in it. Where do I have to go to add a new tapped hole to thew hole wizard?

Thanks,

Thanks CBL,

A star for you. I knew it was buried in there somewhere, just couldn't remember where and SW help was nonexistant.
