Fusion
Community
Hi,
I have a question coming from Onshape and Solidworks.
Why does Fusion 360 use a hole spec format where the depth is specified as a fraction (e.g. 7/7 for 7mm thread depth), rather than the more common style of using the hole depth glyph and then the depth?
vs. Onshape
Is there a way to customise this?

Accepted solution
The first hole callout is from a Fusion 360 ISO template. The ISO template does not use the ANSI depth symbols. The 7/7 is to show the tapped hole is fully threaded. If it were partially threaded it would maybe read 5/7. The ASME template uses the ANSI depth symbols and calls out the clearance hole depth and the tapped hole depth, if they are different on separate lines. You can use an ASME template with metric dimensions if you desire.

No, A3 sheet size will not be available with an ASME template format.
