Automatically set Tapping Hole size.

Automatically set Tapping Hole size.

Hi,

 

When defining a tapped or threaded hole one of the parameters is the tapping hole size. It is a pain for the user to have to go somewhere else to look up the correct size for the bolt thread and fill this in manually. Can't Advance Steel complete this automatically? I am sure I saw a table in one of the databases that seems to have these sizes but i have never seen AS complete the value for me.

I know the correct tapping hole depends on the thread type not just the diameter but I am fairly sure that all users working in metric SI units will be using ISO Metric Coarse threads and I expect there is a similar totally dominant thread form for imperial units in the USA. These settings can be competed by default with the field still open to the user to change the value if they wish.

 

Thanks.

Exactly Aleck, we should just be able to punch in the relevant tapped hole information e.g Metric or BSW or UNC... etc.

At this point in time there is no way to define a thread and output a correct thread to CNC equipment, this is dependant on adding a label to a drawing that is hopefully seen by the guy on the machine to know which tap to use.

I'm finding it just as useless as you. Even as it is, you can't extract the "Tapping hole" data in a label (I looked, there's no token) ... there's no place to enter the thread (UNC-16, 24, etc) ... and the diameter is really irrelevant. The way it is now, besides "Depth" & "back taper" the entry fields should be "Diameter" (tapping hole) and "Bolt description -pitch". Once that's corrected the tokens should be available for recall.

Now your idea, which is way more complete and comprehensive should be the goal here. All the entry that should be required is bolt diameter and thread type. The tapping hole diameter should come from a table in the database.

I did check the NC file and the hole diameter is correct (tapping hole), so that's a plus.

I completely agree! Simply noting "5/8" Threaded hole" in no way completely defines a threaded hole. I'd also like to see drill depth & effective threaded depth.   All of these things matter!
