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.
