Does anyone else have as many problems with hole callouts on legacy holes as
I do?

For example, I have a counterdrilled legacy hole. The end condition is set
to "through". When I add a hole callout in the drawing, I get the
following:
<MOD-DIAM>.1563 THRU
<MOD-DIAM><DIM>
<MOD-DIAM>.1719<HOLE-DEPTH>.7394
<MOD-DIAM>.1563<HOLE-DEPTH>.7394

What is the world is this?!?!?

Now, the way it should read, and the way it reads on other counterdrilled
hole callouts within the same drawing is:
<MOD-DIAM>.125 THRU
<MOD-DIAM><DIM><HOLE-DEPTH>.682

I would simply change it manually, but if I do, it will not update if the
sizes were to ever change. Anyone got a clue here?

I get these kind of weird callouts all the time, but mainly only on legacy
holes. Best I can tell, legacy holes are not in the calloutformat.txt file
for editing either.

I get problems with thi all the time too, and I don't use that many legacy
holes. I mainly notice this when a hole intersects another or is a pattern
of a pattern, or something like that. I work around it by building the
notes manually, linking in the dimensions. I find this easiest to do in the
model (safer there anyway), then I import the note.

I've never thought about doing this. I will give it a try. If it works
good, it may be my new std way of doing this...

Thanks,

1. Hole Table Callouts with Square Holes Question (2004)

2. Hole callouts for very small screw holes 

I have a component in an assembly where I added several counterbored
holes for #1 machine screws.  0.081" dia hole, 0.1875" counterbore,
0.041" deep into a total thickness of 0.125".

The holes show up fine in the solid model.  I then create a drawing
from the assembly.  When I go to dimension the counterbored holes using
Insert->Annotations->Hole Callout,
the counterbore depth which is 0.041" shows up as .00000...
to as many decimal places that I try.  I have also tried dimensioning
the holes in the drawing by hand. ie. inserting a dimension from the
bottom of the counterbore to the top of the part.  I can't select the
bottom of the counterbore in any mode; wireframe, hidden lines shaded,
or solid.

If I create a part file with a large block and a large counterbored
hole, the hole is properly called out in the drawing.

I am confident I am doing something improperly but so far I can't
figure it out from the online help.  I'm guessing this has something to
do with the difference between dimensioning a part and dimensioning an
assembly.  Advice appreciated.

6. Hole callout in 2005 has bugs??? 

I just istalled SW2005 on win xp sp2 ansd found some bugs.  The hole
callout do not use space in the right way.  I can insert space but the
variables after the space doesn't see the space and then doesn't move
to the right.  Second, I cannot delete a variale like the "near side".

On anoher side, I installed SW in fench and English and got some hole
callout partially in french and partially in english.

Any others has seen this?

7. Hole Callout (Drawing)

8. hole callout question 

    I have a 8 taps  1/4-20 in my drawing. I made them by the hole wizard.

    In the drawing I use the hole callout and this appears [ ?201 thru all
1/4-20-UNC -2B ?.500], and I want to change this kind of call out to [
1/4-20 Tap  x .500 deep (8x)]

    Is possible to do that, I want that every time that I want to use a
callout for the taps always obtain this configuration.

    Regards.
