I have a 8 taps 1/4-20 in my drawing. I made them by the hole wizard.
In the drawing I use the hole callout and this appears [ Ø.201 thru all
1/4-20-UNC -2B ?.500], and I want to change this kind of call out to [ 1/4-20 Tap x .500 deep (8x)]Is possible to do that, I want that every time that I want to use a callout for the taps always obtain this configuration.
Regards. Marco
OK, Joe thanks for your help.

Joe, do you know how to change the description from lowcase to uppercase.
Ejm. CBORE #10 Socket Head Cap Screw.
to CBORE #10 SOCKET HEAD CAP SCREW
Regards. Marco Flores.
the easiest way is to use an all caps font (e.g.-- Technic). Then it doesn't matter....
The hard way:
CBORE for %size Socket Head Cap Screw
to:
CBORE for %size SOCKET HEAD CAP SCREW
Once when adding extra tap threads to the ansimetric.mdb SW stop showing all of the data from ansimetric.mdb everywhere. I had to rebuild the index to make it work and then still SW thought it couldn't access the file until it was closed for 20 minutes!!!.

I tried changing the font to Technic as Michael suggest me, and it works good, I think the hard way is going to be more complicated and very risky, I will keep the easy way and the hard way I will practice in the future.
Thanks for your support. Marco

Where I work, the hole count is required on all hole callouts (unless holes = 1). I spend plenty of time adding: 6 PLCS, 8 PLCS, 3 PLCS etc. to all of my drawings.
Someone could write a macro to find each hole callout in a drawing and for each find its hole wizard feature, get the number of points from that feature and append the hole call out.
Any volunteers?
