Insert (Drawing Sheet Level)

Use this command to create one or more hole callout dimensions. First select the layout view and then select the holes to add callouts to. The view that shows the true view (i.e., the diameter) of the holes should be selected.

Required Inputs

• View
  Select the layout view where the holes are displayed true to their diameters.  If you only have one view, it is automatically selected.
  
  
• Holes
  Select the holes anywhere on their perimeter diameter.  VX will determined the actual location of the callout leaders.  The text position is automatically selected also.  Use Right-click > Move Text to alter the position.

 

Optional Inputs

• Check the boxes to enable or disable those attributes that you wish to include in the callouts.  In the actual callout, the attribute values are listed in the order shown.

 

Notes

1. This command supports hole attributes created during the Hole Feature command including the Callout Label attribute. Refer to the Hole Feature command for more information.
   
   
2. Certain attributes for callout labels may be set using the Dimension Attributes Form. They are: decimal places (diameters and angles), leader extension type and length.
   
   
3. Typical syntax for threaded holes:
   
   Dia (value only), +/-Dia Tol, -, TPU, standard hole type,
   Depth (either THRU or depth symbol followed by value)
   
   Typical syntax for regular holes:
   Dia (symbol+value), +/-Dia Tol, Depth (THRU/symbol+value)
   Counter bore/Sink Dia, Depth/Angle, etc.
   
4. Because a callout label is usually a concatenated collection of dimension values and other text strings, some dimension attribute changes will seem to have no effect if applied afterwards. Instead, the attributes should be set prior to the callout text generation.
   
   
5. A callout label is placed via two pre-defined points. A label may be relocated by double-clicking on it. The leader origin may be re-defined via the option menu like any other label dimensions.
