Counterbore Dimension Location

[m4rc]

Hi,

Am I doing something wrong here? When entering the information below I then point to a counterbore. If I select the outer circle (spotface) I do not get the counterbore values returned in the text. When I point to the inner circle (through hole) I get the correct result, but to me pointing to the inner circle is wrong in drafting terms.

6 - %DI%HS THRO
EQUI-SPACED ON 454.0 P.C.D.
S/FACE %DI%BS

Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

this is corrected in V20. In V19/Sp10 it does not work the
way it should. So you have to live with that at the mo ...

It doesn't seem to be corrected in V20 too. There are many other drafting convention problems still exists.

Example: I couldn't put angular dimension text to position where I wish.

Hi,

now! You must tell in which environment you are. I usually
do not dimension a hole within the profile and thus I was
speaking of the draft environment.
The dimensioning will be OK in PMI and Draft but not within
the profile environment. Simply speaking: forgotten to fix
it in that environment too where it still snaps to the hole

I simply don't care of that, most important is: the drawing is
understandable and unambigous which IMHO it is either way

sorry to attach part file, probebly it leads to confusion at your end. I am in draft environment.

I have persistant prblem in V20 draft. Counterbore dimensions need to attached at root hole, which doesn't seems standard way. (Arrow should be pointed at top of hole)

Thanks
