Hi, I have created a tapped hole on the surface of the part shown in the attached. The hole conditions are as follows:
Type: Tapped hole
Spec.: 1/4-20,
End Condition: Blind
Thread: Blind (2 * diameter) = .5"
Sketch plane = top of part
Options: With thread call out.
I have two questions:
1) Why does my tap start .25" down in my drawing. I want the threads cut from the top of the part down.
2) I had to manually insert the text "Tap 1/4-20" to my drawing. This hole text sometimes appears automatically in my drawings, and other times the test does not appear. Why is this variable?
Thanks
