Hole wizard and feature manager

Hole wizard and feature manager

Hole wizard and feature manager

(OP)
Hi,

 We are currently running SWx 2005 SP2. I have run into instances where an individual has changed the name of a hole wizard feature (adding "_8X" or something similar) in a part to clarify a set of holes. If the feature changes to a drilled hole instead of the original tapped hole, the description in the feature manager does not update/change to the new type/size of hole.

 Is this something that is a bug in 2005, or is this just the way the software is regardless of the revision?

Thanks

This is by design (confirmed by SolidWorks).  Has be true with every release I have used.

This is what I figured, but I wanted to hear other peoples thoughts before I try to make a Cad Note here at work.

Thanks
