Dedicated Dowel Hole Selection in Hole Wizard

[srileyS245F]

I would like to see a dedicated section for dowel holes in the hole wizard. When I used Solidworks years ago, they had a separate section on their hole wizard that let you select a stand size hole diameter, then what type of hole it would be, ie. press fit, slip fit, clearance fit, etc.

This then had a special hole callout in the drawing files that put in all of that information automatically. They also have the ability to automatically put the dowel hole emblem on every dowel hole. Currently I have to use the simple hole selection in hole wizard, then manually type in the dowel information on my detail drawing. And manual add in the dowel emblem to each hole in a sketch.

Hi

1. You can set tolerances in the model and download the complete dimension to the drawing.
2. You can define text templates (Pre-Set) that you will quick paste into the dimension content in any file.

It would be nice if there were better out-of-the-box tools for dowel holes.  

Another option: Edit the thread.xls or clearance.xls file in the style library to add the dowel holes with the appropriate tolerances for your design/manufacturing needs.  I have made Acme threads and PEM insert holes in the past.
