IFX COUNTERBOREDEPTH

Good morning everyone I need to change the default values ​​of the attached image, regarding the screw passage diameter I saw that it is modified on the DIN13-1.hol file of the IFX folder, but the depths and diameter of the screw seat in IFX does not take them into account because it goes to get them from another place..has anyone already tried to make these changes? to not lose these changes it would be better to position them externally so that it is the same for all users if so how? Thanks

Hi @gcambiaghi 

Thank you for your question. 

Your post appears well documented but has not yet received any response. I am replying to raise awareness. Hopefully, another community member will be able to help.

Also, feel free to add any additional information you think might be relevant.

Hi @gcambiaghi 

 

the depth for your counterbore is calculated by IFX.

It is the sum of the heights of all fasteners (screw, washer, nut, ...).

In addition the 'ADD_DEPTH' from The ifx_screw_data.cfg Configuration File is added.

You can use different 'ADD_DEPTH' for different fasteners.

 

Inside this file you also can add more counterbore diameters if required.

You can preselect a diameter by adding 'CB_SCR' or 'CB_NUT' to your Fastener Data Files.

 

Hopethis answers your question, or is something still unclear?
