Question

Hole callout does not update

I have a strange problem that hole callout does not update if value of hole dimension change:

C'bore depth is 20mm. And yet, hole callout says 8mm, which is wrong:

While parameters are correct as value entered:

dveljkovic_2-1652898008838.png

Hole text in .hol file is:

C'BORE-&PATTERN_NO{0:X}/FOR &FASTENER_ID/<CTRL-A>v<CTRL-B><CTRL-A>n<CTRL-B>&CBOREDIAM[.2]<CTRL-A>x<CTRL-B>&CBORE_DEPTH[.1]

 

As in hole annotation:

I also changed c'bore diameter value and it's value in hole callout did not change.

I am using 5.0.6 version.

Has anyone had a problem like this?

Well, your names for the hole parameters are inconsistent.

 

Parameter name:

CBORE_DIAMETER

in your .hol file:

CBOREDIAM

 

Parameter name:

CBORE_DEPTH

in your note:

CBOREDEPTH

I did not make those parameters. Creo does.

What I have found out is that when you place first hole, that callout is set fo good on that model!?! Even when I press reset button. This should not be the case.

Maybe you have this setting active?

hole_file_resolution use_internal

see

About Embedding Hole Files into a Part Model 

 

Also, pretty sure that any changes to the .hol files may require you to restart Creo and reload the model...

No. "replace_with_external" is currently active. I am restarting Creo like crazy. New .hol file changes affect only new details. Old one are stuck on old .hol settings.

Hi,

I think you have to upload your .hol file, if you need to resolve the problem. If the file is secret then open Case at PTC Support and send the file to PTC.

Hi Martin, .hol file is not secret. But, .hol file is not the problem. Creo is. It only reads .hol file for new models (correctly), while old models read "internal" hol file (or at least I think that's what is happening). I contacted PTC support, and will se hat they have to say.
