Currently : With None : With None with 0 Depths : I want to set this to the default If I use transfer Depths to drawing option on holes, I can't use Hole Dimension on holes in CAXA.

IronKevin Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I have not seen any way to make defaults for this dialog. Still waiting for confirmation from the CAXA team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Crowe Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) There is a trick to setting the default behavior for the Hole Dimension tool. Instead of left-clicking to place the dimension, right-click to open the dialog box. Any changes that you make here will be treated as the defaults for future dimensions that you place. Again, the right-click to open the dialog box is the trick. This is demonstrated in the attached video.

Malcolm Crowe Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Hi Kim, I've just been around long enough to remember when that capability was introduced. Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertrand Kim Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) Hi, everybody I hope CAXA's HoleDimension tool will be treat as well with threads Kim Edited November 24, 2022 by Bertrand Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Crowe Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) Hi Kim, If I understand what you want correctly, you want the ability to turn off the depth of the drilled hole (the lower note). I think it would be good to have a button (toggle) next to the depth of both the Upper and Lower notes, for controlling the display of these, as it isn't always wanted (such as when depths are already dimensioned in Section Views). See the attached image. Apart from having to delete the Lower depth every time you place a hole dimension, CAXA will remember the other settings that you want in the Upper Note. In the attached video and image, I've used the Upper Suffix 1 to add your "TD". So, maybe this will help you a little bit.

Bertrand Kim Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Hi Malcolm, Yes hahaha that is what I exactly wanted I'm using td of threads in IPROholes for using ICD just in case. So I have to delete those two depths everytime. I want if CAXA to improve the productivity when I use HoleDimension to alternate between regular holes and threads.

Malcolm Hi guys, what do you think about also save all settings with left click instead of right click? It would take a psycho like Malcolm to figure out what right click does.
