Bolted connection - New hole definition

Hello there,

I would like to add a new hole type to the menu in the bolted connection. It could be added to the existing ISO family or to a new one.

Basically similar to the "ISO-Hex Head Cap Screw ISO 24017", but instead of a though-going hole, it would have a threaded hole and a counterbore. A short list of different counterbore diameters and depths is needed, but the best would be to use the custom dimensioning type.
Two pictures enclosed with some details.
How can I add a new hole type in bolted connection?

Best regards,
Francisco

In that topic I could only find how to add new fasteners, but not new hole types.

Be carful of <Type> into « holes.cfg.xml », all must be the same. If <Type> = 4 dans « holes.cfg.xml » (milled), then « DIN.xml » column « <HeadDepth Description="%6%" Units="mm"/> » must be change to « <HeadAngle Description="%7%" Units="deg"/> » and all column « <HeadDepth>xxxx</HeadDepth> » must be replaced by  « <HeadAngle>yyyy</HeadAngle> »
