.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
