References to Standard Holes (AutoCAD Mechanical Toolset)

References to standard holes refer to selected properties that are unique to standard holes. The program typically uses them in hole charts and notes to annotate holes (Hole notes).

HOLE:CTANGLE

Refers to the countersink angle of the hole.

HOLE:CTDEPTH

Refers to the counterbore depth of the hole.

HOLE:CTDIA

Refers to the counterbore or countersink diameter of the hole.

HOLE:DEPTH

Refers to the depth of the hole.

HOLE:DESC

Refers to the description of the hole.

HOLE:DIA

Refers to the diameter of the hole.

HOLE:DRILLDIRECTION

Refers to the drill direction of the hole in the unit vector format. For example, if the direction is parallel to the x-axis of WCS, contains a value of 1 0 0.

HOLE:DRPNTANGLE

Refers to the Pt' angle of a blind hole.

HOLE:FITCLASS

Refers to the fit class of the hole.

HOLE:NOMINAL

Refers to the nominal size of the hole.

HOLE:PITCH

Refers to the thread pitch of the hole.

HOLE:PITCHDESC

Refers to the description of the thread pitch of the hole.

HOLE:STD

Refers to a string indicating the standard of the hole.

HOLE:TAPDEPTH

Refers to the tap depth of the hole.

HOLE:TAPDRILLDIA

Refers to the tap drill diameter of the hole.

HOLE:TAPMAJDIA

Refers to the taper major diameter value of a tapered hole.

HOLE:TAPMINDIA

Refers to the taper minor diameter value of a tapered hole.

HOLE:TAPPED

Refers to a numeric value that indicates the type of tap used for a hole.

  • 0 - No thread
  • 1 - full length of the hole is not threaded
  • 2 - full length of the hole is threaded

HOLE:TERMINATION

Refers to a numeric value that indicates the type of termination of a hole.

  • 0 - blind hole
  • 2 - through hole

HOLE:UNITS

Refers to a numeric value that indicates the type of units of the hole

  • 0 - inches
  • 1 - metric.

STDP:AMBOREDEPTH

Refers to depth of the hole.

STDP:AMBOREDIA

Refers to the diameter of the bore hole.

STDP:AMCBOREDEPTH

Refers to the counterbore depth of the hole.

STDP:AMCBOREDIA

Refers to the counterbore diameter of the hole.

STDP:AMCSNKDIA

Refers to the countersink depth of the hole.

STDP:AMCSNKANGLE

Refers to the countersink angle of the hole.

STDP:AMTHREADDEPTH

Refers to the depth of the thread hole.

STDP:AMTHREADDIA

Refers to the diameter of the thread hole.
