Problem

This article discusses the issue where a hole callout format will not work for Helicoil® and PEM® Hole Wizard features. The hole callout will just show a diameter thru hole. This is due to the bug SPR 1138772 that occurs with SOLIDWORKS 2018-2020 on Windows 10 and the bug BR10000414556 with newer versions of SOLIDWORKS on Windows 11.

Example of issue

Solution

The workaround is to set the Windows Locale setting from a language such as Chinese to English (United States). Follow the steps below:

  1. Open Control Panel and select Region. 
  2. Click the Administrative tab. 
  3. Under the Language for non-Unicode programs section, click Change system locale and select English (United States).
  4. Click OK.
