Solid Edge Pitch is not being added to legacy holes

Summary


Details

Legacy parts with hole features have no pitch set (=0), which poses a problem for CAMpro. Currently, they are having to manually edit hole features, redefine the hole information to set the pitch, and save the file.

Are there are any provisions to do this automatically?
 



Solution

Make sure the default thread type matches the thread type of the legacy holes. For example, if the legacy threads were ANSI Inch while the default thread type was ISO Metric, when the holes are edited it looks at the default database to find the hole and associated pitch. The solution is to change the default thread type to ANSI Inch.
