Customize Size Matching Using the Name to Match Column

You can customize size matching using the Name to Match column. For example, suppose the last hole you created was a ¼” ANSI inch counterbore hole, and in the Name to Match field you entered ¼” or M6. If you then switch to creating DIN counterbore holes, and there is a DIN counterbore hole with M6 in the Name to Match field, the hole size for DIN counterbore holes is set to M6.

String matching is based on the following order of precedence:
IHT is an acronym for Initial Hole Type and FHT is an acronym for Final Hole Type. Special characters are ignored when performing a string in string match.
String 1 String 2 Matching Method
Name to Match column (IHT) Name to Match column (FHT) Exact match, for example ¼” or M6 matched to ¼” or M6
Name to Match column (IHT) Size Column (FHT) Exact match, for example M6x1.0 matched to M6x1.0
Name to Match column (IHT) Size Column (FHT) String in string match, for example M6x0.75 matched to M6
Name to Match column (FHT) Size Column (IHT) String in string match, for example M6x0.75 matched to M6
Size column (IHT) Size Column (FHT) Exact match, for example M6 matched to M6
Size column (IHT) Size Column (FHT) String in string match, for example M6 matched to M6x1
Size column (FHT) Size Column (IHT) String in string match, for example M6x1 to M6
Size column (IHT) Size Column (IHT) Default to initial value, for example 1/8-27 NPSM matched to #0-80
