Hole/Thread Notes

Anonymous — Mon, 22 Feb 2016 14:50:27 GMT

Having trouble editing the hole/thread notes. Just trying to set it up so that when I use the hole/thread dimension tool it reads out the thead size/depth and then also the pilot hole size/depth. I have went into the styles/editor and into the notes/leaders tab. I can see all the different values/symbols for holes and threads but when I put symbols in the box they don't appear in the drawing. Do I need to change something in a different spot. Attached a pic of the screen I'm at.

You need to make sure you are selecting the right type of note to add that information to..

See the dropdown right above where the note is.. Your image shows "Thru" so there wont' be a thread callout or tap drill for that type of note..

I think I figured out my problem. I was trying to dimension a shaft that was built in the shaft generator. It doesn't dimension the same way as standard parts. When dimensioning that taped hole in the shaft it only calls out the thread size. It wont call out the depth or other details unless there is an area to edit the shaft generator dimension callouts.
