Fastener Tool

[SSIMMONS]

Good Morning All,

 

Is there a way to change the default selection for thread count on fasteners? I use 1/2"-13 UNC a lot and for some reason it defaults to 1/2"-12 UNC, which is not nearly as common or even very very uncommon to non-existent. Thanks.

Note from R&D:

All data are hard coded so we cannot change the order of the data. The default item is the first on the list.  We don’t have a way to change it.  Maybe in the future we will load the data from a file.

Hi Kevin,

While you're at it, is there a way to have 'Metric' radio button selected rather than 'English' as a default?

 

Thanks

Depending on the fastener it opens to a thread value that is not the first in the list in most cases. Example video attached.

As a user, my preference (for any tool) is to have referenced "data files" that I can customize, rather than hard coded data that I cannot.
