When are Hole Notes required?

 

When generating drawings, Woodwork for Inventor transfers the information about holes to holes tables. Normally, information about the hole geometry such as hole diameter, hole depth, etc. may be transferred to holes tables. But sometimes diameter or height tolerance has to be specified for some holes in addition to the geometry. You may need to additionally specify the characteristics that have not been specified. For example, to mark the holes treated in some specific way or holes subject to measurement control with the agreed code to ensure the quality of the product, etc.

 

Woodwork for Inventor hole note functionality allows marking individual holes and leave such information for the Woodwork for Inventor part. The information is then used to automatically generate holes in the part drawing or to generate hole notes.

 

Companies usually have well-established marking types. For example, some D8.00 mm and H12.00[+0.1/-0.1] mm holes have an increased height accuracy and their coordinates have to be controlled using a measuring machine. So it is clear that such marking will be provided only for holes with a diameter of D8.00 mm and height of H12.00 mm. It would be good to have a pre-designed hole note template for such holes and use it only for holes that meet the specified geometric parameters. Woodwork for Inventor hole note functionality offers such opportunity: creating and saving the necessary hole note templates first, and later using them to mark the specific holes in the assembly. Hole note templates can also serve as a filter for selecting only the holes for which the template was created.

 

To note holes in a 3D part model, you will have to:

 

 

 

 

 

Hole notes can be created for holes of the following types:
