We are having problems with drawing dimensions created using hole wizard not updating after applying a move face operation to the part.
Example:
I have a solid round object, say 2" in Dia., 2" long. I have a counter bored hole (made with hole wizard) that goes through this object from one face to another with a chamfer on the hole. This hole can be on center or offset from center. I create my finish part drawing and dimension it using the "Hole Callout" feature. Now I want to create a lathe operation configuration so I add grind stock to both faces of the part, which will increase the chamfer proportionally to the amount of grind stock added? When I create the lathe operation drawing, the callout for the hole does not update for the added face material, it still has the same callout as the finish drawing.
We do this because we have finished prints and production prints for various steps in the process such as a lathe operation, mill operation, etc due to hardening processes and the need for finish grinding after hardening.
Any ideas how to get the dimensioning to update? Macro or API maybe?
