Larry B. Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Thanks for adding pipe threads to the shaft tools in VW 2010. The first one I tried 1/16-27 NPT, seems to be missing, or the wrong thread . I also tried the 3D threaded hole for 1/16-27 NPT , and the tap drill size is wrong, over 4" diameter, in VW 2009 & VW 2010. Is there a way to edit the tables or files for the threads? Thanks, Larry Quote Link to comment

Larry B. Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 Hi Ray, Thanks for pointing that out. I submitted one for VW 2009, and 2 for VW 2010. Larry Quote Link to comment
Larry B. Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hi Ray, The wrong tap drill diameter is VW 2009 and 2010 3D threaded holes section. VW 2009 did not offer a pipe thread option in the 3D shaft section. I think this is more of clerical error, than a bug. I have some programs that the user can edit and enter dimensions in an Excel or similiar spreadsheet, and everything is fine. That is why I asked if the table or file could be edited.

Guest Tomu Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Larry, As you no doubt know by now, there are errors in the data files for both the shaft tool and tapped holes. I will try to fix this for an upcoming service pack, but for now copy the attached updated files into the Plug-ins\VW_Mech\Data folder. This should fix both problems. Tom Urie Quote Link to comment
