Files

A part of the standards variables refer to a file. You will find these files in the following location on your computer:

S3d_Lib\Connection Standards\Data\

The .dat files you find here can be modified using Notepad.

The contents of the file HoleDiameterForBoltDiameter.dat looks like this:

The lines that start with “//” are comments. They have no effect on the workings of Parabuild

The purpose of each file is explained in these comment lines.

The purpose of this file is to choose a hole diameter for each bolt diameter.

If you want to add a new diameter M12, then you would add the following line:

12      14

Between the numbers 12 and 14 you should type a TAB character. Columns are separated this way.
