I am currently retro-fitting all our product line with a .50DIA .100 deep spotface to use as a color coding system on ourmachined chassis. Our chassis are all 1.37 DIA and this spotface iscoming in the side of the chassis.
Whenever I dimension the spotface using the Hole Callout annotationit dimensions the depth wrong. Instead of a .100 depth I keepgetting a smaller number. I have figured out what it is doing butdo not know why it is doing it. It is dimensioning the hole depthfrom when the .50 DIA completely breaks the surface on thecylindrical part not when it first hits the surface.
I know I can override the dimension easily and have for the past 15parts but it is getting increasingly annoying having to do this. Iknow this is hard to visualize so I am attaching a pic to betterillustrate.
Does anyone know why it is doing this or having the same problem?
Any help is appreciatedSolidworksDrawings And Detailing
