If you create the hole using the hole command it will automatically show it.

Is there any way to show it with the 2 arrows? If I use the hole command it only us 1 leader.

No, not ideally.  Below shows the best I can offer you.

In your section view you could use the regular dimension command to get the two arrows as shown, but then use the pencil Icon to launch the text editor box, then add the model parameter of the hole depth into the dimension. Of course you would need to add the depth symbol as well.

 

Hope that helps

This partially worked for me. It only showed the nominal, not the stacked tolerance

Change your precision and tolerance to what you desire.

Also, did you set the tolerance of the hole in the hole feature, or did you create in the drawing? If you did it in the hole feature, you can retrieve model dims in the section view of that hole and you should get your tolerances that way.

If you are going to to the manual method, you can change your tolerance style in the precision and tolerance tab when you edit the dimension.

I thought you were looking for the depth to com in automatically when you specified it in your model which you can specify your tolerances there as well and import them into the drawing.

I did set the tolerance using the hole command in the model but when retrieving model dimensions in the section view it only pulls the diameter in.

You have to do it as I show below.  Once you have set your tolerance up in your model.

That option is not available when you are in a section view

If it only pulls the diameter in > double click on the dim > Precision & Tolerance tab > Change to limits stacked. This should get your display.limits.JPG

Now go back to the text tab, click on the pencil icon to get to text editor.

Add the depth symbol and add the model param that you want making sure to hit the "d0" button to add it to the text. Click OK.

This will only add the depth without a tolerance. If you want the tolerance on the hole dia. and the depth you must do it in the hole command as @Cadmanto stated.

If you are only wanting the tolerance on the hole diam. this should work for you.

I am not sure why I didnt ask yesterday, but if you are doing this in a section view, why do you need to have the hole depth applied to the diameter? Can you not dim the depth in the section? I understand having the depth in the plan view of the hole, but not necessarily in the section.

That is what ended up doing. I was just trying to make my drawing resemble the drawing I am redoing.

ANOTHER WAY IT TO USE THE CARRET " ^ " IN YOUR TOLERANCE THEN HIGHLIGHT THE TEXT, RIGHT CLICK AND CHOOSE STACK & STACK PROPERTIES.
