I have to make holes on model for that I wish to use HOLE tool. I made it but have many doubts. Dimension of the hole is given I need help to feed dimensions in hole dialog box. Particularly I don't have clue how to use depth 0.160
Holes on model
In the college book author had used Chamfer tool to make chamfer to hole. Does Chamfer tool or Hole tool produce same result?
Accepted solution
That is certainly one way to get there. It depends on the design intent-- if you are creating a countersunk hole, for instance to use with a flat-head screw, you will want to use the hole tool with countersink, and the information will be called out in the hole note (as diameter and angle, not diameter and depth!). If you are adding a chamfer for lead-in, or to remove a sharp edge, and will be dimensioning it separate from the hole note, then the chamfer tool is more appropriate. In this case, the drawing determines the decision of which tool to use.
Another consideration is geometry. On a flat surface, chamfer and countersink will give the same geometry; on a curved surface, they will not, and this difference will probably be important, depending on how the part will be fabricated. For a hole on a cylindrical surface, a chamfer will produce a nice-looking part, but a part that may be very difficult to produce:
The one on the left is a 90° countersunk hole, the one on the right is done with a 45° chamfer to the same diameter. The countersink can be machined with a countersink tool directly applied to the hole, the one on the right would be far beyond my machining abilities. But for 3D printing, there is only a miniscule difference in cost, so function and appearance are the only considerations.
Hope this helps,

While I understand this is a textbook exercise and additional information given in the book - if I get this drawing on the shop floor I have to go by the information provided on the drawing or suspend the job.
If I elect to use the information literally as provided on the drawing - and the job is rejected because of the 90° angle, the error is not on my interpretation of the drawing.
Project Geometry (Project Cut Edges) in a sketch and dimension (or Measure).
or
Create 2D drawing and dimension.
Have you created ANY 2D drawings from your 3D models yet?
If not, STOP what you are doing and find that chapter in the book (or ask your instructor).
Does the Measure tool not work for you? Use the Measure Distance tool, then select the flat surface, then the circular edge where the countersink ends at the hole, and there is your depth measurement.

Yes it shows 0.16. But how to establish which distance it is?

Sorry, I don't understand. The thin red line in your image shows where the distance is being measured, and you presumably know which items you chose for the measurement, no?
