Hole command bar (synchronous)

Options

Displays the Hole Options dialog box so you can define the hole parameters.

Saved Settings Gallery

Displays a list of saved hole types. When you select a hole, the hole updates dynamically, based on the characteristics of the hole.

Physical Thread

Creates physical threads on a threaded hole feature. When deselected, cosmetic threads display.

Note:

This option is enabled by default. There is a possible performance impact when creating thread geometry. The system administrator can disable the Physical Thread option on the SE Admin utility.

Note:

Physical Thread is only available for Standard Thread and not available for Straight Pipe Thread and Tapered Pipe Thread.

Extents

Defines the depth of the feature or the distance to extend the profile to construct the feature.

Through All: Sets the feature extent so that the hole is extended through all faces of the part, starting at the profile plane. You can extend the hole to either side of the profile plane, or to both sides.
Through Next: Sets the feature extent so that the hole is extended through only the next face on the selected side. The next face is defined as the closest face where the hole circle forms a closed intersection with the part. You can extend the hole to either side of the profile plane, or to both sides.
Finite: Sets the feature extent so that the hole is extended a finite distance to either side of the profile plane, or symmetrically to both sides of the profile plane. Type the distance into the Distance box on the command bar.

Keypoints

Specifies the type of keypoint to locate by the operation.
