We are wanting to change our default drill point angle from 118° to 135° to conform to customers standards. Is there a place to do this easily. I've checked in the Hole Wizard database & I see nothing for the drill point angle default. We don't want to have to manually do this for every hole that we create

I am pretty sure that can't be changed. I found SPR#542249, but it hasn't had any activity since it was created.

So, i tried to create a hole wizard hole, change the custom drill tip to 135 degrees, then delete the hole, and the part, then saved that part as the template.

Then created a new part and added a new hole. And the 135 showed up! I was excited....

Until I realized that this part of the hole wizard is not set in the template, it simply remembers that last one that you used and used that. If I change it again, without saving it as a template, then that is now the new setup.

Found this on the SWYM: https://r1132100503382-eu1-3dswym.3dexp ... kN0rUEAvog

You could probably modify the underlying sketch, if you can find where it lives.

You can create a favourite with your angle. So you can select it when needed.

I think that this is your best bet.
