Displays a temporary preview of the hole on the selected plane or face. The preview does not determine the hole position. Use the Positions tab to position the holes. |
|
Far Side
|
Select a face or plane. Available when you select one
or no items. Activates the Far Side values in
the element flyout. Use the flyout to add or delete elements. Define
element values under Element
Specification. |

Use baseline
dimensions |
Measures near and far side elements from the same
initial baseline dimension. This option also specifies the end
condition automatically to Offset from
Surface for each element in the hole stack. Other options 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 list to calculate its
depth.

The last element from the Near Side (blue) and the first element from the Far Side (green) are both set to Up To Next Element. The depth of each element is the total distance between the red and yellow elements divided by two. The depth of both elements adjusts to remain in contact with the yellow and red elements. |
