Hole Enhancement (What's New in 2025)
Check out the enhancements made to the Hole feature in this release.
In both, parts and assemblies you can now use 3 new drill point types (Flat W, Angle V, Angle Y) when creating holes. The Angle Y type creates a drill point that is that is incorporated into the hole depth parameter. The Flat W type results in the creation of a flat drill point.
The "Drill Point Type" button, which adds the <DPOINT> tag to 2D and 3D Hole Note annotations, was added to the Hole Note dialog. By using this tag, the active Drill Point Type is included in the annotation, represented by the following symbols:
- Flat = "U"
- Angle = " " (nothing is added for this Drill Point Type)
- Flat W = "W"
- Angle V = "V"
Additionally, the "Thread Direction" button was added to the "Hole Note" dialog, enabling the addition of the <TDIR> tag for thread direction. By checking the "Left Handed Thread" box, "LH" will be displayed for Left Handed Threads in annotations.
The formatting is managed using the Styles Editor.
