Hello

Is it possible to set up the display of an automatic tapping dimension?

Display that the tapping without the quotation of the forehole in automatic.

Kind regards

You have to customize the file calloutformat.txt, now that you know which file a google search will be able to guide you better.

Be careful however to make a backup of this file before because it is not recommended to modify it.

Hello sbadenis,

Thank you for your feedback. I hadn't thought of this file. I'm going to look at that.

Also be careful because the file is related to the installation of SW on the machine.

When you work with several people, it's quickly a mess and it's better to store this file in a common place for everyone.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to save on the network
