Hole callout note lead/trail zeros

Hole callout note lead/trail zeros

In the past, one of our departments has requested no lead zeros for their dimensions. Easy enough to set in the templates and .dtl file.


However, when they use the hole tool, the depth of the tap (and the hole) always shows a leading zero (0.48 for example). Through testing it appears this value is unaffected by the .dtl option 'LEAD_TRAIL_ZEROS'.


It appears that portion of the note is driven by a paramter named 'THREAD_DEPTH'. The feature itself has no relations driving the parameter to read the dimensional value (d10 or whatever), and of course the part itself has no relations either.


I've tried editing the .hol files, but the depth of the tap and the hole do not appear in them.


Long story short ... is there a way to set this hole note so it doesn't show a lead zero?
