I've been asked to change some tapped M6 holes (cosmetic threads only) on a model to rolled formed M6 holes. I'm using SW2015 and I don't see rolled formed as a type of tapped hole. Am I missing something (maybe because I'm using an older version of SW)?
Also, we have a 5.5mm cast hole (per standards) and when I go to add the M6 threaded hole, I get a rebuild error (The intended hole does not intersect the model). Is this because the hole wizard uses the minor diameter of the thread? I see that I can change the default dia in the hole wizard to something larger that 5.5mm and it works but is this correct?
