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?

Mine comes in like this
