I brought this up before but has anyone gotten this to work since then?

Hello Nate,

i've never tested it. I've heared that it's only for cadtec customers. Don't know if this is correct.
It would be interesting if it works, because it measures the distance apparently with alibre script...see german site

Hi Nate (and Stefan) -- As an American, I have to deal with SAE, MS, NAS, (etc) types of screws/bolts, tapped holes, and nuts (which is why I have created so many Libraries that are posed under Resources). My argument is that I should be able to define a Hole Feature based on a Fastener's definition/placement. Thus if I have a (say) M6 screw protruding (let's say) 11 mm deep into a component, a (say) 14 mm (Full Thread) deep tapped Hole Feature should "derive" from it. Should a M6 bolt pass through a component, then a ø6.5 mm (or ø7 mm) clearance hole should be aligned with that bolt. [And, of course, Pilot Holes for Taps should allow for tap tips and chip allowance.]

Cadtec's tool looks at the size of the hole and works out the largest metric size bolt that will fit. Andy

...and "Klemmlänge"...
