Fix Retrieve Tolerance Hole Dimension into Drawing

Fix Retrieve Tolerance Hole Dimension into Drawing

I use Deviation and Limits/Fits-Show Tolerance always within my 3D models. When you use Median at those tolerances the dimension is always within between. So, for manufacturing, you make your part easier to program.

 

Now I came to the following problem/BUG. When you want to retrieve your model dimensions on a drawing the depth and the smallest diameter of a counterbore don't come up!!! Can development look at this? 

 

This made a case earlier on this about a year ago (Inventor 2017 release) and the only thing Autodesk has done is pointed this out on the knowledge site.

Inventor-2017-retrieving-drawing-dimensions-does-not-provide-the-minor-diameter-of-a-counter-bored-h...

 

Please fix this issue because it is still there in the 2018.1.2 version!!!!

Thank you for pointing this out! This still doesn't work now in Inventor 2019 and it is quite anoying. Maybe some people don't see the importance but when you have to send your stuff to an workshop who doesn't use CNC machines you have to go through your whole 3D model to check for all tolerances by hand. This takes quite some time and it is double work because all the information is there but I cannot load it into the drawing.

@Marco.Takx @rwibbelink does it work for you when using the hole note to get the dimension here? We can also get the dimension + tolerance from part feature. Thanks!

@Yijiang.Cai Thank you for your response! That could be a workaround. It is quite interesting though that it is not getting it straight away from the retrieve dimensions functions.

@rwibbelink many thanks for the quick response! If the hole note works for you, I prefer to make it as implemented. Does it make sense for you?

@Yijiang.Cai Aye, ofcourse that makes sense!

Status changed to: Implemented

Many thanks @rwibbelink @Marco.Takx, and make it as implemented.
