Hole Callout - C'Sink angle precision

Unread post by RMcHugh »

I’m spending some time housekeeping and fixing some annoyances with our setup.

How do I set the default precision on drawings for Hole Wizard Countersunk Holes?

The model is set to 0 decimal places and the drawing template is set to 0 places.
The “Insert, Hole Callout” dimension always comes in at 3 places, forcing a manual adjustment.

I’ve done a bit of searching and haven’t found a setting for this.
Has anyone found a way to set the precision?

SWX 2022 SP5, PDM Standard, not upgrading for a bit due to hardware requirements.

Thanks,

Ray

I haven't found a way to control this.

In the model, at the bottom section of the hole wizard properties panel are the tolerance settings

On the drawing, the precision is controlled by the document/template settings:

Thanks, @SPerman, that's what I've found.

Thank you, @DavidWS, but that had no effect on the drawing dimension.

This is broken as far back as SW2017.

BR10000387407 - Unable to control Hole callout angle precision using document settings. It follows the length dimension precision instead of angle precision

Not the answer I was hoping for.

Thank you all. I appreciate your input.

I ran into this same issue a while back! It looks like there isn't a direct setting to change the default precision for Hole Wizard callouts.
