When I am using the Hole Wizard and switching between hole types, the countersink angle for ANSI Inch is now defaulting to 100 degrees in my 2021 SP5.1 install. ANSI Inch countersunk bolts are almost always 82 degrees and the "wrong" default has slipped by me a few times now. So far I have always caught it before sending it to fab, but it just adds one more thing I am having to check. Has it always been this way and my memory is faulty or is this another one of SolidWork's recent feature regressions? Is anyone aware of a way to change the default to 82 degrees for ANSI inch and keep 100 degrees as the default for ANSI Metric?

If you go into the Toolbox Settings check to see what you have selected for CS holes. There is an 82 and a 100 degree option.

Thanks SPerman! I should have checked there. That is one less potential headache in my future
