Hole tables, drill and thread depth

[Glassman]

We have internal standards for thread drill depth and it would be great to have these values available on the hole table file. Today it is a percentage of the thread diameter which for any design engineer does not make any sense at all. Everyone has to edit this value.. We would like to have predefined drill depth and thread lengths.

The problem is what your company wants as a standard may be different from what we want as a standard.

These files are editable, so edit yours to your standards.

There is a config.pro setting to point to hole table files, so I moved the PTC files to my directory and now when I install a new version of Creo, I still get my hole files, not the PTC ones which may or may not have changed.

we use customized hole table files and we did not yet find a way to have a predefined drill and thread depth.

this from my customised hole.

see if this help.

change  the value for  DEPTH_RATIO

TABLE_DATA
PRO_VERSION      24
THREAD_SERIES    TAP
CLASS            H
TABLE_UNITS      metric
DEPTH_RATIO      1.25
CALLOUT_FORMAT  &METRIC_SIZE x &THREAD_DEPTH[.0] DP /(&PATTERN_NO x)

I also would like to have this option, keeping the 1.25 depth ratio and allowing to be defined in the hole chart the drill depth or thread depth.
