The ISO GPS standard supports both full and simplified dimensioning schemas for hole callouts in multi-element holes (e.g., counterbores, sinks, or threads). GD&T Advisor now also supports the simplified schema for ISO models, which was previously only available for ASME models.

The combined simplified hole callout can be enabled using a new XML tag Combined_ISO_hole_notes, set to YES, in the application options file (GDTAAppOptions.xml). This option allows ISO users to specify hole feature callouts while combining multiple specifications for improved clarity.

Combined_ISO_hole_notes = No

Combined_ISO_hole_notes = Yes

Creo Parametric 11.0.0.0

User Interface Location: N/A

Benefits

  • Enhanced readability of hole callouts.
  • Reduced annotation clutter in the Model-Based Definition (MBD) model.
  • Improved compliance with ISO standards.

Additional Information

  • Limitations: No known limitations.
  • Does this replace existing functionality? No.
  • Configuration option associated with this functionality:
    Legacy models with existing hole callouts will continue to show the full dimensioning schema if the new XML option Combined_ISO_hole_notes is set to NO. When set to YES, GD&T Advisor will update the hole callout schemas during verification.
