Hi fellows
We are using Creo Parametrics 8.xxx, Standard configuration metric, ISO. And we are creating our own tables for company standard holes.
Question:
Is there an option, to feed the hole feature with values out of the tables, to show a fractional number instead of a decimal number.
Example:
Rp 1/8 is the pipe thread 1/8" for holes with inner threads, If I select this threaded hole from the table in the dimension text menu it looks like:
In the existing tables the value 9.73 is included and presented in the model or drawing with prefix Ø.
The value 9.73 is the correct dimension, but I like to show the value 1/8 because this represents in combination with the prefix the right size of the threading tool .
In the same time, the Prefix Rp should be written automatically to the prefix field of the hole feature's menu. Same as Ø for standard holes or M for ISO threads.
Up to now we made this work around:
But I don't like to manually entering such text into the dimension text menu. It's time consuming and prone to errors.
I would like to enter this into the hole table for Rp threads (e.g.). so that all in the team can later select the type from the list and done is it.
Does anybody know how to do this?
Best regards
