Hole Charts

[write2bush]

Hi all,


I needed to get the standard hole dims obtained in pro-e 2001to match with my company specified hole dims, for tapped holes and counter bored holes. I explored a lot and finally ended up with the hole charts in the <installationdir>text/hole folder. I was able to modify the tapped hole dims but was not able to fix the counter bored holes' dimns.


I tried out CSINK_DIAMETER, CSINK_ANGLE, CBORE_DEPTH, CBORE_DIAMETER in the Hole chart, but Pro-e does not read the file with above parameters.


i want to know how to fix these as well.


There are Hole parameters like FASTNER_ID, .......to MED_DEC in pro-e 2001. but nothing conserned with counter bore and counter sink. but still proe assumes the default values for these.


I know about hole_diameter_override.


Can anyone help?


Thankyou in Advance.

Thankyou Robertib,


yes i have seen these in Wild fire. But will these work in pro-e 2001.


Have you tried out?


I will also try these, but its very tidious to edit the hol files.


Itried to edit in microsoft exel. I was able to import the text in excel (only used the table part of the hole files to be edited) but was making a mess while coming back to text format.I was also able to add columns to the table but again lost the fromatting in the text format.Any tips are invited.
