.hol files and formatting thread notes

Does anyone have any info on how to set up .hol files or know of a good
tutorial online that walks you through step by step? I can't find much info
on it and I find it hard to believe that everyone is just accepting the
Pro/E Wildfire 2.0 defaults for fomatting.
I also want to know how to get rid of the zero before a dimension in
these hole parameters. ( For example: Ø0.2500 would show as Ø.25 )

Also has anyone noticed that for UNC and UNF threads the default clearance
hole diameters are ridiculously tight even for a free running fit?

Post any examples of your .hol files here or just the CALLOUT_FORMAT field.

Thanks in advance
Jay

 

C'BORE hole file, save the text in wordpad or notepad then rename to
CBORE_UNC.hol.

you will need to change config.pro add hole_parameter_file_path -
c:\where ever you placed the CBORE_UNC.hol

then restart ProE
