Operation - Set to Counterbore or Countersink to enable the Counterbore/Countersink properties below.
Termination - Select the strategy for ending the hole. Choose between a Blind or a Through Hole. Note that your edit to this property may be overridden, as the property is reset on reloading the solid.
Level - If you edit the Level, the Depth value (which is relative to the Level) will automatically be modified accordingly. Note that your edits to this property may be overridden, as the property is reset on reloading the solid.
Preserve Depth - Check this box if you wish to maintain the absolute Depth when altering the Level of a feature. This is because the Depth is relative to the Level, and if the Level is modified, the Depth moves with it by default.
Diameter - Specifies the diameter of the hole. Note that your edits to this property may be overridden, as the property is reset on reloading the solid.
Depth - If Preserve Depth is not checked, you can edit the Depth value. Note that your edits to this property may be overridden, as the property is reset on reloading the solid.
Angle - Specifies the drill angle.
Colour - Specifies the colour in which the hole feature is displayed.
Layer - Specifies the layer on which the hole feature is displayed.
Style - Specifies the line type in which the hole feature is displayed. You can choose between Solid, Dotted, Dashed and Chained.
Name - Specifies a name (of up to eight characters) to be assigned to the feature in the browser.
Comment - Use this field to set a comment attribute (of up to 255 characters) for use in Strategy Manager. This allows you to label the feature and then check it in Strategy Manager to ensure that the appropriate machining process is applied. For example, this can be used to determine if a hole feature needs to be reamed or bored.
Counterbore/Countersink - Defines the size of the counterbore/sink. Specify the Depth and Diameter of counterbore/sink and the Angle of the countersink.
