Adding Counterbore Callout to Creo 3.0 2D Drawing

There may be something simple I'm overlooking, but I cannot find how to place a call out (note format) for a counter-bored hole in a Creo 3.0 2D drawing. The counter-bored hole was created in the 3D model using the Hole command.

Any help would be appreciated.

David,

What JLG has suggested is the most robust way of labelling holes, also they are fully parametric. I have in many cases had standard hole notes fall off of drawings and also issues with them not updating correctly when the model is changed.

I'm using Creo 2.0 and assuming that it's the same in Creo 3.0.

I modify one dimension to show the others with it, like this:

Okay, I see what you did.

So I'm assuming then that Creo does not have a command in the 2D environment that automatically picks up the information from the 3D model that a counter-bore hole was created. As an example, in SolidWorks and Inventor when creating a 2D drawing and adding the dimensions, a command within the 2D environment "Hole Callout" will automatically place the information about the counter-bored hole (like you showed) when the diameter is selected.

Thanks, JLG

In addition, the leader points to through hole diameter; ASTM Y14.5  shows the leader pointing to the counterbore diameter.

Is there a way in Creo 2.0 to point to the counterbore diameter, other than creating a note?
