Hi,
I am a complete beginner at designing and i need to learn GD&T. Where do i start? books? videos? quick suggestions? Anything would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Ok, I will post a quick example that shows the problem that I am facing. I will not be able to post it until Tuesday, given that I will be out of the office until then, which is the computer that has solidworks/ the problem on.
Thanks so far for all the help everyone. I really appreciate it
Still Didnt work. All i am getting is the hole diamterss.. no thread. I am now able to see the cosmetic thread on the drawing, but the hole callout isnt displaying a thread..
calloutformat.txt is in the directory that solidowrks is pointing to. There is also a file in there named calloutformat_2.txt, would this be an issue?
Any other ideas?
Hi Everyone,
I am still trying to learn solidworks and i have a pretty simple question that i cannot seem to get answered by searching online.
I made a hole using the hole wizard, it is a straight tapped hole M1.6x0.35, and i checked off the box in the options section "with thread callout."...
ok.
so just to get this straight, a straigh tap hole, with cosmetic thread, cuts a hole with the size of the minor diameter, it calls out the thread size, then the final hole will have the diameter of the major diameter. Am i correct, or am i just completely confused?
thanks
ok thanks!
so my best bet would be to use the "hole" option under "hole type" and "Tap drills" under the "type" drop down list, correct?
by doing this, it gives me a hole that is less than 3mm in diameter, about 2.5mm, is this correct?
Sorry if this is an easy question, but im really new at this.
HI,
This is my first of probably many posts, given that i just started using solidowrks at my internship, yes i am an intern.
One question i wanted to ask it, what is the difference between a straight tap and a hole in solidworks hole wizard?
I am trying to make a simple M3 screw hole and...
