Pilot hole diameter for screw construction and drawer slide holes
I feel like I am doing everything right but I am stumped on the these hole diameters. I have screw construction set up with dados and those holes are reading .2756 which isn't even a drill bit size we have or I have set it to. I want it to be 3mm actually.

Also to add, when I change those settings below to 3mm, neither set of pilot holes change even after I redraw them.
