Unless I'm missing somthing, it would be very convienient to be able to specify a letter, number, or fractional drill when using the hole tool. I'm tempted to start compiling my own hole table, but I don't have the time. Is there any way to specify a standard drill hole? I know ProE notes specify the standard drill size in the thread notes, so somewhere there is a table of values.

    There are a bunch of files under "loadpoint"\text, that look like they can be edited using a text editor. Never messed with them though so I can't say how well it would work. I saw a folder for taps, drills etc.

    I think you fellas are talking about two separate things: standard holes in a Pro/E model and standard tools which can be used with Pro/NC. It would be nice...!

    David, You're right. Chris was talking about the manufacturing tool files. What I would like to see is an option in the hole tool that allowed me to drill, for example, an "F" drill hole. The way things are now, I have to have a drill chart always present and consult it to drill a hole. There is always the posibility of having a "typo" and the end result is not a standard hole size leading the machinist to assume it is a bored or special hole. I just find it difficult to believe that this problem has not been addressed over the years. Phil
