Pro/E allows us to to create Countersunk and Counterbore holes in the model. Is there a way to get the note on the drawing to read in the format shown in the attched image?

I want to re-stress that the note callout will not change if you turn off aspects of the hole feature after the hole has already been placed. For example, if you turn off the exit countersink, the note will still include the “EXIT V X” portion of the note. To get the note to change you MUST select “Reset” from the Note tab EVERY time you make changes to what is turned on/off. “Reset” effectively reselects the callout format from the callout matrix.

PTC has a document that explains this and a SPR has been filed. You can read about it here:

Hi All,

I'm struggling with this too, making a parametric hole note / call out. In my case, I can cause Creo to crash, pretty much on command when annotating a c'sunk hole. Instead of just making a note attached to the hole with manually entered numbers, I am using the "&adXX:X" system dims [dimension, then double click the hole edge to get a dim] in the note call-out; one for the smaller, inner dia, and the other for the larger, outer dia. SO, my hole note will have 3 lines, the first line being the small dia: "&adXX:X", the 2nd line will have the larger, c-sunk dia.: "\ /&adXX:X x 82°" and the last line (3rd line) is how many I have: "3 HOLES", per the ANSI standards.

It grabs them no problem,, and I have my hole note. all is good, so far. Even with the green dot saying it's all up to date & regenerated. But, then when I try to add a 2nd sheet to the drawing, crash! Even some printing tries have caused it to crash. Now, it does seem to work well if it's the first & only model. But, if I close, clean the memory, then re-open it, it will then crash upon adding the 2nd sheet... And, it only happens when I grab the two dimensions into a note. If I leave them as 2 dims, no problems..

I do this type of note routinely for rectangles, obrounds, and hex holes. But it's only the c-sunk holes that seem to crash my system.

Hi all,

Today, I had a bit spare time so I decided to customize my hole notes. I had already done for threaded holes, now it's done for countersink and counterbore holes. I'm quite happy about that as it's not a really easy job as usual with PTC.

Here's what I get now !

As I'm note an egoist guy, I share my hole file ! It's for metric holes.

    Hello everyone!

    I use a similar .hol file to call out dowel holes.  It works perfectly outside of Windchill.  When I check in the model/drawing and open it via Creo View, the callout information is missing.  Does anyone else have that problem?
