Hole Callout

For a Thru hole SW always puts THRU ALL , who really needs it to say ALL I
just want it to say THRU is there a way to change the default for this.

That works, but doesn't up to next process slower than thru all? And is
there a way to change it like you can for Hole Wizard Callouts I NEVA EVA
EVA EVA want it to say thru all.

Thanks

The same issue came up earlier this year. Do a Google groups search on
comp.cad.solidworks with the all the keywords "hole callout thru" (without
the quotation marks, of course). The fourth hit is a thread started by Jay
Greenfield, and down a few messages in the thread is one from Chris Angevine
that seems to have the answer. It involves editing the file:
calloutformat.txt.

Cory,

I absolutely agree with you here and also find this way of calling out
a thru hole absolutely comical. I guess that if you say thru it is
thru, otherwise its somehthing like "thru to hole", "thru to second
surface", etc.

Along the same line of thought I think it is pure sillyness that the
hole wizard defaults to a BLIND counterbore & countersunk hole. Who
one earth ever (ok almost ever - one in a hundred times) needs a blind
counterbore for a hole which almost always accepts a screw or nut?
This is just plain silly - maybe I can configure it (?).

Art's suggestion about editing the file looks promising for the thru
all though.

I also have wanted it to say "thru most" at times (hehe).

Later,

SMA
