SW 2024 SP5 Heli-Coil tap callout?

[ellundo]

When I try to add the hole callout on my drawings for heli-coil tapped holes It doesn't come in correctly. Anyone else found this to be true?

What is it that you see when you place it?

Unfortunately, I am on SW 2022, so I am not experiencing the same thing.

If it is actually incorrect (meaning it doesn't match the default settings in the holecallout file), then maybe run a repair?

Otherwise check this:

Don't use helicoils but have SW 2024-SP5 and this is what I got.

I just figure out what the tap size is for the heli-coil, and put that on the print. Why put the burden on the supplier, and hope the two of you are referring to the same threaded insert?
