Create dimensions with the "Hole Dimension" command

Create dimensions with the "Hole Dimension" command

Explain how to create dimensions with the "Hole Dimension" on the "3D Interface" tab.

The Hole Dimension command displays dimensions on holes projected onto CAXA Draft based on hole information created with 3D data.
Examples of projections linked to 3D data usually include (simple) holes, Thread holes, and Counterbored holes.
It is effective against these holes.


Simple hole


Thread hole


Counterbored hole


[1] Click "Hole Dimension" and select hole.
[2] Hole dimensions are displayed with the JIS symbol for hole diameter, thread size, depth, and counterbored size.
[3] If you want to change the symbol, double-click the created hole dimensions.
