Create Defaults for Tap depths
 Hi all   I have as customer that has specific depths for all tapped holes  - both thread depth and clear depth.   Currently the " normal " values dont reflect what I need.    Does anyone know how to alter these depths    I know it is based on an excel file locted at
KeyCreator64.13.5\Lang\English\FeatData\metric\tap.csv            However im not sure if altering this file will be able to give me both specific values that i need. 

 What I am currently doing is using the " to depth" type  to enter these values  however I constantly have to update these values as i go thru various tap sizes    It is a real pain  

 it would be great if there was a way to set defaults  for the various taps 

 any help  / suggestions                        I have talked to support but so far no solution and i am getting frustrated as my current design wil probably have  pretty close to 500 tapped holes

RE:Create Defaults for Tap depths
I do not have a solution for the default changes, however, would having a pattern file do you any good? You could just save out your most commonly used tap sizes and depths to a folder and call them in as needed.
Just a thought.

RE:Create Defaults for Tap depths
Then I am not sure. Wasn't aware of that. What CNC software do you use? Maybe they have a way around that?
