You can use baseline dimensions to define advanced
holes.
When you select this option in the Advanced Hole PropertyManager, the
SOLIDWORKS software measures near and far side elements from the same initial
baseline dimension. This option also sets the end condition automatically
to Offset from Surface for each element in the hole
stack.
The same hole stack can chain
elements, defined with baseline dimensions, with other neighboring hole
elements.
Other changes related to using baseline dimensions include:
- For a counterbore, countersink, or taper threaded element, you can select
Use standard depth to ensure that the depth of
the element is the same depth defined in the Hole Wizard data table.
- For a straight threaded element, you can select a formula from a drop-down
list to calculate its depth.
To access this option, click . In the Advanced Hole PropertyManager, under
Near And Far Side Faces, select a face and click
Use baseline dimensions.
