Derived Standard from Ansi Metric

[cninneman]

Is anyone aware of any issues with hole callouts of metric tapped holes, when created from a derived standard?

I created a new standard based on the Ansi Metric standard, and now when I place a tapped hole, the hole callout is wrong. It's only giving me the inch size of the major dia. with an M in front. (Ex. M.236) for an M6 tapped hole. It does not list the tap drill and then the thread callout as it should.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Chris

cninneman,

Are you referring to the hole callout on the drawing? If so, when you create your own standard, you must add that standard to the calloutformat.txt text file.

I had no idea, thanks for the heads up again. You've really helped me out with this whole derived standards deal.

Thanks
