Detail Style-Dimensioning - Common-Holes tab

Setting Description
Holes in Top View Settings for hole in top view, the hole diameter is written beside the hole groups.
Display Diameter When checked, the diameter is only indicated once per hole row or complete hole group, when the value doesn?t change. The text is always aligned in main dimensioning direction.?
  • Text Size ? Enter the text size for labeling here.
  • Distance ? Here, you can indicate the distance of the insertion point of diameter labeling from the hole. This distance is measured from the border of the hole.
  • Angle ? Here you can enter the angle between the insertion point of diameter labeling and the hole, between -180? and +180?. The value 0 corresponds to the main dimensioning direction. You can indicate positive (rotating to the left) and negative values.
Only Visible Holes Only those holes are dimensioned which are visible in the corresponding view. At a plan view for example, the holes of the shape?s bottom flange are not dimensioned unless they were visible due to gaps in the upper flange.
Connect Axes Common axis lines are displayed within the hole groups if the ?Divide Hole Groups? setting has been checked.
Divide Top/Bottom The drill holes of upper and bottom side of the component part? are dimensioned in an individual dimension chain. The assignment refers to the relative position towards view plane (Z=0).?
Also in end plates The hole diameter is also given for folded plate details.
Slot Holes Here you can select how to dimension and label oblong holes. You may choose between different combinations of hole axes and hole lengths to dimension according to production.

For more detailed information please refer to the general explanations with regard to oblong holes.

Text Location Sets the location of the text; Standard, Mirrored ?Vertically, Horizontally, or Symmetrically.
New Dimensions.. Here, you enter the distance from one hole group resp. drill hole dimensioning to the other at which a new (redundant) dimensioning has to be carried out. This permits a clearer dimensioning of far away positioned identical hole screen dimensions as the dimension chains resp. the indications of diameters are repeated.
Holes in Views Settings for continuous constant back pitches displayed as a group.
Hole Pitch When checked, You enter the back pitches including the diameter of the parallel drill holes.
Text Size Here, you enter the text size for back pitch labeling.
Distance Here, you can indicate the distance of back pitch labeling from the edge of the component part. Positive values signify a labeling outside the component part, negative values signify a labeling inside the component part.
Mark Area Beginning and end of a hole group are displayed by a marking.
Slot Holes Here you can select how to dimension and label oblong holes. You may choose between different combinations of hole axes and hole lengths to dimension according to production.

New Dimensions according Here, you enter the distance from one back pitch to the other at which a new (redundant) dimensioning has to be carried out. This permits a clearer dimensioning of far away positioned identical back pitches as the indications are repeated.
Holes of a cope Settings for diameter of cope holes.
Display Diameter The hole diameter is written beside the hole groups. If the value doesn?t change, the diameter is only indicated once per hole row or complete hole group. The text is always aligned in main dimensioning direction.?

Oblong Holes

The horizontal dimensioning and labeling of oblong holes depends on the kind of production. Four independent variants are available here beside the option No Dimensioning (for manual dimensioning) and the option According to Hole Type (not yet supported at the very moment):

Hole Axes

The hole axes are dimensioned and the hole distance is indicated at labeling.

Slot Length

The outer edges are dimensioned and the hole length is indicated at labeling.

Hole Center+Axis Length

The center of the hole is dimensioned and the axis distance is indicated at labeling.

Hole Center+Slot Length

The center of the hole is dimensioned and the hole length is indicated at labeling.
