Custom Variables for CALLOUT_FORMAT in .hol Files

Show all headers | View raw

Is there any way to add a custom variable to each FASTENER ID that I can use in specifying CALLOUT_FORMAT?

I am trying to make a table for STI tap holes, for both UNC and UNF threads. I would like the note to look like this:

10-24 UNC-2B STI
DRILL .76
TAP .45 MINIMUM
(FOR 10-24 HELICAL INSERT)

I don't know how to make it that the "UNC" in the first line can be either UNC or UNF. I tried adding a column onto the end titled "SERIES" and refer to &Series in my formatting, but Creo seems to not like this.

Obviously, I could make 2 .hol files, one for UNC and one for UNF but that is not ideal. Since I'm not using the "PERCENT_THREAD" value, it does seem to work by putting the data there, but that seems like a bass-ackwards way of doing things.

Any ideas?
