accurate countersinks and counterbores after press pull

[soliloqueenwastaken]

Right now, if you have a countersunk or counterbored hole, and you pull the face upwards, it extends the counterbore or counterface upwards. This is expected behavior and is, for my application, correct. However, it does NOT update the automatically generated counterbore depths or countersink diameters in the 2D drawing, which it probably should

Hi

Automatic dimensions read parameter values, not geometric distances.

[soliloqueenwastaken]

yes, but should they

This is how they work and you should adapt your workflow to it.

I regularly need to change the amount of extra stock on each side of a part depending on the specific machine a contract lapper is using and it's annoying to go through and change all of them manually. Is it reasonable for the software to automatically generate factually incorrect drawings? I understand that the easiest way to program the software is to read the parameters, but I would appreciate some extra effort here.

Automatic dimensions are a nice addition to standard design scenarios.

don't disagree with you, I just don't think it's reasonable to the end user that they should soft fail to incorrect dimensions with no warning, no disclaimer and no way to tell at a glance if they're wrong. it makes hunting through multi page drawings to solve all these little errors a bit of a chore.
