What is the benefit of this enhancement?
The Hole feature now provides enriched thread handling options for thread length and intersection control.
The following thread depth control options provide an additional flexibility:
• Through Thread
• Blind
• To Reference
 | The Through Thread option is typically enabled and available for the following geometry dependent drill depth options: • Drill up to next surface • Drill to intersect with selected surface • Drill to selected object • Drill to intersect with all surfaces |
This enhancement is useful when you create threaded holes in Part and Assembly modes.
This enhancement enables a faster and easier specification of the thread length for geometry-dependent situations. It eliminates the workarounds to measure the required thread length as input for the variable thread length parameter.
Additional Information
Tips: | None. |
Limitations: | The combination of the drill option Drill to intersect with all surfaces with the thread option Thru Thread is available only in Part mode. |
Does this replace existing functionality? | No. |
Configuration option associated with this functionality: | None. |
