Changing Default Drill tip to 140° from 118°

Changing Default Drill tip to 140° from 118°

How can the default on drilled holes be changed to 140°?  While 118° may be standard for a lot of drills, almost all of our drills Ø3/8 and up to Ø1-1/4" are 140° inserted tips.  As a Creo NC user, I change models all the time sent to me by Engineering that have holes put in at 118°, just to match the drill that I will actually be using.

To define the drill tip angle for hole charts in Creo Parametric, you can use the drilled_hole_tip_angle configuration option in the config.pro file. This setting controls the default tip angle for drilled holes and is available starting from Creo Parametric 4.0 M060 and later versions.

Default Value: 118°
Valid Range: 60° to 180°

 

You can also use the hole charts to set the tip angle for custom holes.
