I (Heart) the hole callout. Just make sure you have the right directory called out in the File locations. I have to change this alot when people get a warning about not being able to locate the Hole Callout file

Hey Steve, I have been planning on doing a whole series on plastic parts including designing parts, molds and drawings. I will probably be able to start covering that towards the end of summer.

Yeah, I know it is really weird. It is only small on Firefox. I am working on it and I hoping it will be fixed soon.

Great site and great topic. Many people don't know some of the basics that most of us take for granted. I'm always leaning new things and seeing these over and over again makes me a designer. Another subject, if I may, when you get finished with Standards Tuesday, start one on dimensioning plastic parts. I'm always after ways to dimension features when draft is applied and I'm sure there are many other ways that others here can discuss. Steve Calvert

Great writeup. When I use Hole Wizard, it first puts in the tap drill size and depth. How ddo I get it to not do taht?
