"broken" taps

"broken" taps

"broken" taps

(OP)
Hi everybody! New member to the forum! First thread.....have a quick question. Help!

I added a blind tap to a plate and when I add a thin cut/extrude line (scribe line) down the plate and thru the tap, it seems to "break" the tap in the drawing and the hole callout won't work! I can't really think of a better way to show the scribe line and still keep the tap linked with the hole callout. Any suggestions?

Thanks a bunch!

RE: "broken" taps

Reorder the features so the scribe line is made before the tapped hole.

RE: "broken" taps

You could also just draw a line in a sketch in the model, and Show the sketch in the model & drawing view. That way the line is always with the part, not just the drawing.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

RE: "broken" taps

AnneVan,

Exactly how did you create your scribe line and what is its relation to the tap?  I just tried to recreate your problem in SW2005 SP5.0 and SW2006 SP2.0 and holecallout works just fine in my tests.  Could you post a simplified version of your part (nothing that would be considered proprietary by your employer) for us to look at?  See FAQ559-1177 for instructions on how to do this.

Regards,

Regg
