Customizing Advanced Hole Callouts

You can customize hole callouts for advanced holes, which is useful for manufacturing processes.

The manufacturing processes for holes do not always match the order shown in the advanced hole flyout. You can customize hole callouts that match the order and variables needed for manufacturing, then use the callouts in manufacturing drawings.

For example, the advanced hole flyout might show this order:

  • (1) Nearside Counterbore
  • (2) Straight
  • (3) Straight Threaded
However, this is the order in which manufacturing creates the holes:
  • (3) Straight Threaded
  • (2) Straight
  • (1) Nearside Counterbore

To customize advanced hole callouts:

  1. In the Advanced Hole PropertyManager, under Hole Callout, click Customize callout.
  2. To reorder the callouts, select the Callout String and click Move Up and Move Down.

  3. To customize a callout string, double-click it in the Callout String list and select variables. You can also select Callout Variables to display a list of all variables.
    Modified strings are marked with an asterisk in the list.
  4. To restore the default settings for individual Callout String items, right-click a string and click Restore Default String.
  5. To remove all customizations, under Hole Callout, click Default callout.
    Default callout removes all customizations you made to all hole callouts in the PropertyManager.
