Hi,
When I add a #6-32 countersunk clearance hole to my part using the clearance hole tool I have noticed that the clearance hole size varies depending on the material thickness. The following is the default clearance countersink for a #6-32 flat head screw.
I understand that this all depends on the geometry of the countersink, IE a .279" dia x 82deg csink with .050" material will have a different clearance hole than a .279" dia x 82deg csink with .125" material. See below.
The problem I am having is when a drawing is created, and I use use the hole and thread tool, the clearance hole is called out as the nominal value, not the actual diameter of clearance hole, see below.
Right now the only workaround I have found to get the correct diameter in the hole note is to measure the clearance hole that is created and then go back in the hole tool to update the clearance hole size. Is there any way to automate this process or are we stuck doing this manually?
