Creo 10.0 enhances the functionality of simple flat and simple drilled holes by allowing you to create standard parameters and hole notes. These new options are supported by updated .hol files specific to simple flat and drilled holes. When parameters are added, hole notes can also be generated, streamlining the design process and bringing simple holes closer to the functionality of standard holes.

Creo Parametric 10.0.0.0

User Interface Location: Click Model > Hole. Work with parameters on the Properties tab:

Benefits
The updated Hole tool now provides:

  • Parameter Creation: You can define standard parameters for simple holes, similar to those available for standard holes.
  • Hole Notes: When parameters are created, corresponding hole notes can also be added for improved documentation and clarity.

Previously, these capabilities were unavailable for simple holes, which limited their flexibility and alignment with standard holes.

Additional Information

  • Limitations: Not supported for simple holes created with the “Sketched” option.
  • Replacement of Existing Functionality: No.
  • Configuration Option:simple_hole_create_parameters
    • Values:
      • yes: Enables the creation of parameters and hole notes by default.
      • no (default): Disables this functionality unless manually enabled.

This enhancement simplifies workflows, improves documentation, and makes simple holes more versatile in Creo 10.0.
