[@KaraTuckerWORK]

I just noticed that it did what I remember it doing to me a while back - if you append the data it creates copies of everything in the table. Look at how there are 3 of everything in your pulldown. Is that a bug or am I just missing something ?

So much easier than Inventor!!!! Does this update when you have a new SP or install newer version of SW? Inventor you had to create all new custom table.

The hole wizard database can be maintained/updated from version to version. you can also export data to add to another data base or even share a custom database.

had no problem creating the special hole size but how do you tap those special threads into the hole? PLEASE save me, trying to make a part that needs 3/4-18 UNS tap

Once I assigned the hole*eg:30 mm) and trying to edit that the custom size check box checed in and it is the 30 mm but the actual hole is differntly assigned automatically. Is there any way to prevent this happens?

I'm trying to do this with Solidworks 2020 and the program is demanding much more Size data than provided in the Thread Data table. It means that I don't have all the specs needed to fill in the Size table. Thoughts? I need to add the M1.2 screws to my Hole Wizard asap... :(

Hello Nicolau, I would suggest reaching out to your value added reseller to help accomplish your setup.

Same like this, can we add thread feature sizes?

[@goengineer]

Hello Abdul, you will need to add configurations to the thread profile parts found in Tools -> Options -> File Locations -> Thread Profiles
