Hole callout problem and question

    Hi all,

    1. I have a hole feature on a sprocket hub for the two set screws. In
    the drawing, I can't get the hole callout to call the threaded hole
    properly. I only calls the radius. Is there a way?

    2. Where can I find the translation for the callout variables. I have
    a french installation, but I want my callouts to stay in english. I
    have looked in the callout file, but it only provide the english
    descriptions. So the software must look somewhere to know what are
    different languages translations.

    Anyone?


    Thanks.

    Possible causes for #1

    1- look in system options-data options-edit standards data , and make sure
    the hole is not disabled for the standard you are set to.

    2-you did use the hole wizard to create the holes I assume?

    3-look for additional features down the tree that may have altered the hole
    ( ie. an additional cut-extrude that intersected your holes) in some way.

    4-there are some problems that are standards specific, try changing your
    document properties-detailing-dimensioning standard, long enough to get your
    hole callout in place

    5-lastly, check your document properties-detailing-annotation display
    settings to make sure all relevant settings are checked

    Good luck,

    I forgot to mention that I get that problem only on circular faces, in
    this case it is a sprocket hub. The same hole on a planar face gets its
    call no problem... I use the hole wizard to make the feature. I tried
    to way, first, selecting the circular face to place the holes (I thought
    that was the problem...), second, selecting a plane in the middle of the
    sprocket (didn't seem to change anything).
