This is a new feature that I would like to begin adding to my blog as long as I can continue to find the right combination of interesting and useful tutorials to share. The first tutorial that I deemed interesting and useful is how to customize the SolidWorks Hole Wizard and then the calloutformat.txt file so that the Hole Callout dimension tool works in conjunction with your Hole Wizard standard. This is a topic that I have wanted to show people for some time and while at SolidWorks World this year Ed Eaton shared some information regarding this topic during his presentation with Phil Sluder. He had received a request from someone to help them with this exact issue. As coincidence would have it, while I was talking to someone that works for our VAR soon after SolidWorks World they told me that someone had asked them for help with the exact same issue. I took this as my sign that I needed to show this to the 2 people that read this blog. So here it is:
