Thread call-out note

[VerticalPumps]

HELP
I'm using ProE 2001
How do I PERMANENTLY modify the thread note call-out.
Currently it call out thread tap size first then drill size. I perform SETUP / NOTE / MODIFY one by one every time. I want to revise it permanently.
Also is there away to add in more Standard Hole notes
For exaple NPT tap hole and hole larger than 1-1/2-6UNC
THANKS

Under the Pro/E loadpoint there is a text/hole directory which has the .hol files. You can modify these to get the note to say waht you want. There is a PTC TPI on their website that explains the context of the .hol files.
You can also move the customized files out of the default location with a config.pro setting.



"Wildfires are dangerous, hard to control, and economically catastrophic."
"Fixed in the next release" should replace "Product First" as the PTC slogan.

Max,

You can specify the thread note format parameters in the hole table files under the CALLOUT_FORMAT. You can customize the note format to fit your needs. I believe there is an *.htm file on your C: drive that relates to this topic. I've listed the link below.

C:\Program Files\proe2001\html\usascii\proe\part\thread_n.htm

Here is an excerpt that describes the formatting:

The thread note is a combination of the values listed in the hole chart for that hole. Use the following principles to construct a thread note:

Each parameter is preceded by an ampersand (&).
A space should always follow a parameter name.
Note: An onscreen space that follows a parameter value should have two spaces in the formatting.
Indicate line breaks with a slash (/).
Use control characters (for example, <CTRL-a>) to get an extended ASCII character.
If the hole is a member of a pattern, use the Pattern_No parameter in the thread note to indicate the number of pattern holes in the pattern.

An example of text in the CALLOUT_FORMAT field of the hole chart:

&Screw_size &Thread_Series - &Thread_Class TAP <CTRL-a>x<CTRL-b> &Thread_depth / &Number_Size DRILL (&Diameter ) <CTRL-a>x<CTRL-b> &Drill_Depth -- (&Pattern_No ) HOLE
