Groove Feature in the Drilling Table

Hello

I can't display the characteristics of the grooves made with the drill wizard in my drill table.

I only have the diameter...

Thank you for your help...

Maybe we need to edit the note?

If you insert the symbol for the piercing, what does it look like?

I just tried, it's not winning: I couldn't find a keyword to add to indicate the length of the oblong.

Oh lala, I totally missed this one. I was in my project and skimmed over the question... DSL guys...

Good evening

Add a Symbol for drilling and if he doesn't put it on originally, put: 

<hw-diam> X <hw-slot-length> <hw-thru>

in the quote text.

<hw-diam> gives the diameter

<hw-slot-length> gives the groove length

<hw-thru> gives the end condition type

You can access more settings by clicking on "Symbol Variables"

Good night.

PS: I read that right, but I bugged... I am looking for and coming back to you:)

Well actually, it's exactly the same, in the SIZE column, if SW doesn't put it originally, put the text of the previous  post in the cell of your groove and validate.

Thank you for your answers,

I was thinking more of an external file modification...

But we'll manage with that...

Good evening

The file you are looking for is called "calloutformat.txt. It can be found in:

"C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp\SOLIDWORKS\lang\english"

I've never put my hands in it but it's there, in it, somewhere in the 7579 lines...

By the way, an excerpt from these lines that may be useful:
