Official hole tool presets?

[collin]

Hi all, I'd like to be able to make clearance counter bores, standard thru holes, etc. I understand that there is a way to add presets. Is there any official download that encompasses both metric and imperial clearance holes? All I want in life is a drop down that for example, has an option for an M3 tapped hole, or an M3 thru hole (and class of fit would be cool). Not major, minor, pitch diameter drop downs. Any insight?

You can save any hole definition as a pre-set and give it a name of your choice for later selection from drop down list.

There isn't any official download of hole definitions.

Here's the reference I use. Everytime you define one save it, and you'll have a full list in no time.

Here is my preset hole file I use. It has Metric socket head recesses and standard centre drills. The recesses may not be correct to the reference list above though.

Copy it to C:\Users\"you"\AppData\Roaming\Alibre Design\default user and change the extension back to hps
