Question

NPT/NPTF thread hole files callout data

I'm going thru the hole files editing the notes and customizing them to our needs.  I got to the NPT and NPTF hole files and started looking thru the .hol definition and noticed there was no information for the DEFAULT_CALLOUT_FORMAT_DATA section.  However, I'm getting the note as defined below.

 

I'm wondering where it is getting this data as I'd like to edit it slightly. 

 

I've looked that all the possible locations a .hol file could be and don't see where it could be getting this callout data. Our hole_parameter_file_path config option is pointing into Windchill and the callout data is not defined in those files.  I looked in the <loadpoint>\Common Files\text\hole location as well as my creo home location and the NPT and NPTF hole files do not exist there.

 

Creo 8.0.0.0

Thanks...

Assuming you have a local installation, look in this path: C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 9.0.8.0\Common Files\ORIG\text\hole

The included *.hol definition files should be in this location.

 

If you are using Creo+ then I have no idea where the files are stored.

Yea I don't have that particular location in my Creo 8 installation.   Only other location I see for .hol files is;

 

       C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 8.0.0.0\Common Files\ifx\text\hole

 

But the NPT, NPTF. hol files were not in there. 

 

Thanks..
