Does anyone know if there is an option to change the default setting for a clearance hole within Creo 2.0?
Currently the default is a close fit, but a majority of the time we use a Free Fit. Is there a way to have the hole creation default to a Free Fit instead of the Close Fit?
Any information would help.
Hi Ed,
there is a config option hole_diameter_override, set to yes & you can change tapping drill sizes & clearance hole diameters, this might help you.

Have you tried creating your own hole tables...perhaps a separate table for free vs close?
@John - Yes I know about this option, but not exactly what I'm looking for.
@neo - I have updated the ones that are pulled in, but everytime it defaults to Close Fit. I'd love to have it default to Free Fit, instead of clicking the pull down to select Free Fit.
I couldn't find any option that controls the close/free fit in the hole feature. I can think of two workarounds though:
1- Use a mapkey to preselect the type of hole you want.
2- Like I mentioned above, create a custom hole file that replaces the free and close fit options with what you want **
These methods wouldn't be very intuitive for other people that might come across your files though...
** I should add, that I haven't tried this yet, just throwing the idea out there.
Note: edited my previous comment for clarity.
