Miscellaneous Information
The following sections discuss important issues relating to hole feature creation.
Hole Parameter Files
Hole parameter files are setup files used to build the user interface for the hole. Programmatic hole creation uses the same files. New sets of customized files can be added as required. The values assigned to the elements PRO_E_HLE_THRDSERIS, PRO_E_HLE_SCREWSIZE, and therefore PRO_E_HLE_HOLEDIAM depend on these files.
Creo Parametric and Creo TOOLKIT load the hole parameter file (*.hol) in following order:
1. Directory specified in configuration option hole_parameter_file_path
2. Current Directory
3. System hole parameter directory, that is,
4. [PROE DIR]/text/hole
Find the hole diameter from the values of PRO_E_HLE_THRDSERIS and PRO_E_HLE_SCREWSIZE specified in the *hol files. In the Creo Parametric User Interface, element PRO_E_HLE_THRDSERIS is represented as the selection between UNC, UNF or ISO.
