How to use Tap Drill hole note by default

[Frank.HallWQLC5]

I have a part with a set of holes that have a pilot hole depth and then a smaller tap depth.

I have edited the Style definitions for:

Blind - Depth Thread Tap Drill

But when it comes to placing a hole note in the drawing, Blind - Depth Thread seems to be the default. I'd like instead to have Blind - Depth Thread Tap Drill as the default. Anyone know where this option is in the Styles editor?

I'm aware that I can edit the hole note and check the "Tap Drill" box but my goal is not to have to do this for every set of holes going forward.

Have you went to your template and then Manage Tab > Styles and Standards Panel > Styles Editor > Expand dimensions > Choose desired dimension > Notes and Leaders Tab and go through the holes to see if it is applied there. If not then check is. Once saved, make sure to click save in the Styles and Standards panel to save that dimension style to the style library. This can only be done if the current project settings "Use style library" is set to "Read-write".

There is a style for that:

Thank you both for your replies. Please re-read my initial post but with the understanding that I have been to this place in the Styles editor and I have made the necessary changes to Blind - Depth Thread Tap Drill.

When I go to the Annotate tab, under the Feature Notes section and click "Hole and Thread", the default selection is with the Tap Drill turned off. How do I have it ON by default? I don't want myself or any of the team to have to remember to add Tap Drill every time they add a hole note.

Did you set your object default for "hole note" to also use the same dimension style you added this info to?

You cannot. IV pick the note from the hole feature.

How did you model the hole?

Actually maybe you could.

If that doesn't work, you can just add it:

Thank you so much @blandb! Even with no audio, the little mouse movements make it very easy to follow and your highlights jump out.

In case the video isn't accessible years from now, in order to use Blind - Depth Thread Tap Drill by default when laying down a hole dimension, Blind - Depth Thread needs to be edited - tick the box under Options to use Tap Drill.

And for completeness as @blandb shows in the video and Message 5 above, after clicking Hole and Thread (Annotate tab -> Feature Notes section), check the dimension style being used (Annotate tab -> Format section) is the one you've been editing.
