Hello
I have many doubts about the .hol file that I cannot understand.
How is the depth of the thread or hole calculated?
In the .hol file, the depth of the drill or thread is not specified but the difference is calculated using DEPTH_RATIO, who defines the value?
Thanks
You do in the .hol file. As an example:
In particular you might want to change the DEPTH_RATIO to 2 (see below as an example)
TABLE_DATA
PRO_VERSION 24
THREAD_SERIES TAP
CLASS H
TABLE_UNITS metric
DEPTH_RATIO 2.00
CALLOUT_FORMAT &METRIC_SIZE x &THREAD_DEPTH[.0] DP /(&PATTERN_NO x)
Another example:

Thanks for the reply, but the change in DEPTH_RATIO is clear to me, it determines the depth of the drill based on the depth of the thread but where does the thread depth dimension come from? There is no entry in the file where it says 20.4,

Sorry, I misread your post. As @TomU noted it is fixed. Consider upvoting this idea:
From some reason there is an extra character in that KB article link above making it not work. Here it is again:
