    These Posts are FUN for a stress reliever.



    Seriously, I would be happy with a Product that simply didn't crash !! or
    was predictable and consistent.



    Just this last week, I've had 3 Pro/Dumps losing 4-6 hours of work. Yea I
    know its easier to do the work the second time. but having Pro simply leave
    you at your desktop is Very frustrating ( to say the least ).

    Although this would be a nice capability, it's not that hard to use Both-Sides, and enter a depth that is well beyond the part extents. If neccessary, use a relation to ensure that the depth is adequate.
    However, there is a more practical issue. In the past, I've done timing tests, and found that the Thru-All option (when available) is significantly slower than a fixed depth. I assume that Pro/E simply takes too much time to determine the depth needed to go through the part. Therefore, I no longer use Thru-All anymore.

    Holy doubleicty Batman!



    Seriously though as if one thru all was not bad enough. If you want
    fast models, don't let Pro/E do the thinking for you, but rather build
    in the design intent yourself. Thru all means Pro/E has to pause
    creating the feature, calculate the bounding box for the finished part
    then go back and finish the feature. If you were building a model and
    using just what's necessary to conserve energy and time, thus making it
    most efficient. You would not run out to infinity, but rather just to
    where it's necessary, like up to a surface, or to what's needed, say a
    distance.
