Good afternoon you all!


I am modelinga part of which I include an ilustration. It has tapped holes and I don't see how to limit the depth of them up to the next surface, so I feed it a depth just so it does not hit the next surface. The thing is that on the drawing pro-engineer does not get rid of the "excess hole" both in isometric and in an orthogonal view. Can any one give me tipes please.


I am using Wild fire 2.0.


Thanks.

Try to use this options (see picture) and show surface to stop your hole on it.

A better way to do it would be to put the hole on the inside surface, and go through the remaining material.

You can also control the depth of the tap portion of the hole by clicking on "Shape". See the picture for an illustration.

Thank you all. I will go for the inside-out approach.


Regards.

For some reason wf1-2-3 they don't accept UP-NEXT threads holes. That's why either you have to give exact depth or part width or just like it was suggested inside-out.

The Hole tool is a POS and does not work in many instances. Just make a cylindrical cut (revolve or extrude) the use the cosmetic thread feature. 10 times more flexible and robust.

If you have a "hole" command that can't decently make holes, then what does the "pro" in ProE stand for, surely it can't be for "professional".

I absolutely agree with you AHA-D. It can't be correct behavior that it is nessesary to make a workaround for such a simple feature.

Use the to next depth option that is available, it seems to work fine. The tricky part if you do outside-in approach is stopping the threaded surface or you can choose to leave out the threaded surface. If you do inside-out approach then you can just do a thru-all hole.

You can also add a relation to the hole/thread.


With an initial wall thickness and a driven thread depth you can correlate the thread depth to the wall thickness. The only problem is the thread still looks like a depth and not a "thru".


I do agree that this is a workaround of what should be an easy feature.

One other thought would be just use a standard hole and add an annotation note for the thread.
