Is anybody using standard holes for dowel holes ?? Standard holes are
driving by some thread, but dowel holes have no thread involved. How do you
standardize dowel holes ?

Regards, Hugo.

    Uncheck "Include thread surface" from the Shape slide-up panel in the Hole
    dashboard?

    This is not possible (WF1) of blind holes. And dowel holes are mostly
    blind.
    2/
    As for threaded holes, dowel holes are drilled upto a certain depth, and
    finished upto a depth less then the drilled depth.
    3/
    Feature Information does not identify the hole as a dowel hole, but as a
    special kind of fastener hole.

    So, this is not a decent solution.

    This is what we do.

    Create a threaded hole blind and turn-off the cosmetic thread (In the Shape
    Popup, as Nicolas Hostein suggested)

    I filed an enhancement request some time ago to allow a drilled hole to be
    blind, no resolution yet.
