I created a custom holewizard definition by making a copy of the ISO database. I got everything to work so it shows up in the holewizard as a valid option, not too dificult. The problem I'm having is when I create a drawing that has one of my custom threads in it and use the hole callout button to define it in a drawing it treats the tapped hole as a counterbore and not a thread. It does this with every hole in the database that I've copied. If I use one of the standard ones, Ansi Inch for example, then it works fine. Has anyone ran across this.
I haven't seen anyother threads regarding this specifically.
Thanks in advance.
