Thread / Tap command in R20

[Runz]

We have recently moved to R20 and am having dificulty adding custom threads to a shaft on a CATPart using our custom standards. I have the required nominal shaft diamter on my part, but when I use the Thread / Tap command, I get an error stating "Nominal Diamter 0.4375in does not exist in your current standard ansi_UNF. Standard will be set to No Standard". I have tried different sizes, our other stndards, and they all fail and give me the same error message. These are the same thread standards we have been using for years

Did you migrate your standards forward from R19? The default location for the standards on 64bit machine.

C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B20\win_b64\reffiles\standard

I setup a custom location in the environment files (CATIA-64.V5R20.B20.txt)
CATReferenceSettingPath=K:\CatiaApps\Settings\R20\CATSettings_Ref

You should see your standard if you add a hole in the part design work bench. Default from Dassault in Metric Thin and Metric Thick

Migrate? These are simple text files. We have one for each thread type...UNF, UN, UNJF, etc. When adding a thread to a cylindical face, we select the "add" from the command window and then select the size thread. We have never had to migrate anything when we have changed Catia versions in the past.

Sorry migrate is a bad word. Copy from R19 to R20. I migrate the catalogs, standards, recreate the settings and copy the text files.

Our text files are located on a server where multiple users can access them. They aren't, and never have been, related to the Catia install files. Catia allows you to use the file regardless of where it is stored, but for some reason is not reading the file correctly. We have other locations that are using their own files, but having the same issue.

Try this.

Create a new part
Enter part design work bench
Create a pad
create a threaded hole in the pad

Do you see your standards in the Thread Definition - Type pull down?

Install SP7 for the fix.
