Flat Head Socket Head Cap Screws. I have to enter 49 Deg. to have an 82 Deg. included angle in MTS, doesn't really make sense to me. Now that I have seen the example of the drill point in the Inspector, I am really confused. The example shows a 110 Deg. drill point, if you dimension the angle in MTS it is 139.9 Deg. To obtain a 110 Deg. angle in MTS you have to enter 124.938 Deg. in the Inspector. I use 118 Deg. and 135 Deg. drill points, and have to enter 120.938 Deg. for the 118 Deg. drill point in MTS, and 112.438 Deg. for the 135 Deg. drill point in MTS. Please explain this. Thanks, Larry
