Summary


Details

The General Screw Clearance size for a close fit #8 is off significantly as well as the other sizes according to the drill chart.

Solution

The values in ANSI Inch.xlsx are pulled from the Machinery Handbook. We have many customers using these without any problems.  The drill charts are good references but Solid Edge chose to use the Machinery Handbook. The user is free to make changes to the holes Excel spreadsheet files provided with Solid Edge to meet their needs. However, it is important to remember to maintain these files outside of the Solid Edge installation folder. We recommend placing them on your central server and then referencing them through the Solid Edge Options dialog on the File Locations page.
