And as we all love from time to time Autodesk (might!) change the format or add new threads to this spreadsheet.  So if you have added any non standard sizes to the old spreadsheet, but you want to use the new spreadsheet with all the new threads contained in the thread.xls then this becomes messy.

Our tip is to change the colour of the newly entered line in your existing thread.xls to Green then it will be easily visible to see all the additions you have made to the old thread.xls, and thus making it easier to copy them to the new format.

Hope this helps.
