Threads to small

When I use the hole feature in a metric drawing the a thread inserted is really small.  I am assuming 25.5 times too small.  For instance, I am drawing a large weldment that requires M16 threads.  Using the hole feature, and choosing thread and inserting an M16 metric thread, it is really small.  I there scale setting tha I am missing?

Can you attach file here that exhibits this behavior?

Did you model the part with metric mm units?

 

If you open one of your parts and go to Tools>Docuent Settings>Units, what are the current units?

If you edit a sketch and edit a dimension, what are the units?

That is what it was. I was not working in metric. Duh.



Thanks
