Hi everyone,
Any suggestion upon the way one can customize the way the thread dimensions are generated? I am trying to create the standard for UNRC/UNRF thread. I created the text-file with the right parameters (as described in the documentation and using the provided "MetricThickPitch.txt" file as a model) and it works beautiful in 3D. But, whenever I dimension the hole in the drawing using the "Thread dimension" button, it comes out "the metric way", reading the column head of the "Key" column and the value of the outer diameter of the thread (I guess that´s the way the "M6" value is generated). I would prefer if instead of this, the dimension would read the CORRESPONDING VALUE of the thread from the "Key" column (i.e. 1/4 - 20 for a 1/4" coarse thread). Do you know of a way to customize this? (I hope I was understandable...)
Best regards,
Stely
