Hello, I am sometimes get two different dimensions for the same hole depending on whether or not I am using the hole call out or the Smart Dimension tool. Has anybody had the same problem?
The holes in question are onto a structural member as shown in the screen shot. I haven't notice this before. I hope its just a bug with this file (which I probably won't upload just yet because its quite large.)
A few more details:
The hole call out tool gives the correct dimensions.
All the holes where created with the hole wizard.
The dimensions is are on a sectioned view.
We are use SW 2014 SP5.
As noted above, Smart Dimension was not originally meant to be used for threaded Hole Wizard holes. Customers in Europe have requested that the Smart Dimension tool show the simplified thread call when the cosmetic thread is selected. This was implemented for some cases, but not all in previous versions of SOLIDWORKS. Unfortuantely, the "M" was added, even when the simplified hole callout wasn't shown. In SW2016, Smart Dimension now supports all threaded Hole Wizard holes with a simplified callout when the cosmetic thread is selected. If you wish to have the full callout, the tool to is alwasy the Hole Callout tool.
