Hole Callouts, Dual Dimensioning and Precision
Hole Callouts, Dual Dimensioning and Precision
(OP)
Hello all,
I wish to modify the precision of the secondary units in a blind hole callout. Moreso, I wish to have the secondary units precision for the diameter to be different than the precision for the depth.
The hole call-out would look like this:
Ø.165[4.20] <HOLE-DEPTH> .57[14.4]
So, the secondary units precision for the diameter and the depth are different. When I attempt to adjust it on the dimension properties tab, both fields change simultaneously. This leads me to believe that that modifier applies globally to all dual dimensions on that in that callout.
Is this the correct assumption? Is what I'm asking for not possible? Is there an option check box I need to mark? Any help would be great.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, it looks like something in the drawing overrides the model dimension display properties. I have looked for an option box to "use model dimension precision" but have not had any luck so far.

That should get you what you need.

Did you try that? I am running 64-bit Solidworks 2010 SP 2.1 and that does not work for me.
As I wrote in my original post, even if I select the item I wish to change (tap drill depth, for example), the dual dimension box will still change the entire call-out, not just that field.
