Frustrated w/ Hole Notes

msonger4 — Thu, 17 Nov 2022 00:39:56 GMT

Hello everyone,

I am trying to dimension some holes using a hole note. By default, it dimensions to 2 decimal places. This is probably simple but I can't figure out how to change the dimensions to say 3 decimal places. I've changed the precision in document settings but it changes everything. This is a simple thing to do in Inventor.

I'm attaching a screenshot. How do I keep the .25 diameter at 2 decimals but change the counterbore diameter to 3 decimals for instance?

Thank you!

You are not going to be able to have 2 decimal places and 3 decimal places in the same hole dimension in Fusion 360 at this time. You can change the decimal places to any number you like using the Document Settings, Units setting as shown below. Unfortunately, a hole call out does not have the ability to change individual decimal precision like you can in a linear dimension.

Thanks for the reply John. I was able to look at it again with a clear head this morning and was able to do a workaround by just typing the extra digits after the prepopulated data and it ends up looking like it's supposed to. Maybe in the future they will update the software so this can be achieved like it is in Inventor.

Thanks again!
