YEO Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) THRU holes are problematic if you input dimensions from CAXA DRAFT. Only COUTER BORE is properly recognized as THRU, and HOLE and TAP are inputted as depth. Of course, I applied the display mode of THRU HOLE as an option. Was it intended? Bug? This can lead to major problems if the designer does not notice. If you pay attention to this, you will get tired. thru.avi Edited April 13, 2023 by YEO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEO Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 1. HOLE and TAP are not recognized as THRU. 2. I switched to THRU after double-clicking, but the drill depth of the TAP continues to hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Crowe Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Hi YEO, In the attached video CAXA is correctly recognizing "Thru" holes that were created using the "Custom Hole" tool. So perhaps the problem is with IC Mech rather than with CAXA.

Malcolm Crowe Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) For those users that don't use IC Mech, I recommend using the "Custom Hole" tool on the Ribbon Bar rather than the similar tool in the Tools Catalog, as you can easily create your own catalog of Custom Holes, for then dragging and dropping onto Parts as required. It's the quickest way to create drilled holes. See the attached demonstration video.

YEO Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 If it's an IC Mech problem, can't ironpro be improved? I've gotten too used to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertrand Kim Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Hi folks, I didn't realize "Custom Hole" was a solution for this, I'll have to try to get more familiar with "Custom Hole", I've always been a pain in the ass to manually modify them. Thanks all Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 We will look into why the Mechanical holes are not showing as Thru. Maybe there is just a missing setting or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill C Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 My testing with IC2023SP1 shows that there is different behavior in ICD and EXB. Both are wrong but to different degree, therefore I will file separate QAs for the errors in ICD and EXB. For EXB it seems that the Through Hole setting from IronCAD Custom Holes and IC Mechanical Custom Holes is not being recognized for simple holes. Also not recognized for IronCAD Custom Hole for the counter-bore case. For ICD, it seems that the Through Hole setting is not being recognized for all simple holes regardless of whether they are from the Custom Hole Tool, IC Mechanical, or IronCAD Tools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
