    When mirroring a part with holes that have been put in with the hole
    wizard the geometry all mirrors properly into the new part but when I
    do a drawing and dimension the holes the depths don't come through.
    The callout simply gives a diameter and a THRU callout even though the
    hole is blind.

    Am I missing something or is this a bug ?

    Thanks.

    I should add that some of the holes (same part and drawing) do
    dimension correctly ?!

    This is normal functionality for mirroring features. The mirror is a
    dumb copy of the original. If you want to use mirroring and still want
    the hole callout information, then mirror the points in the positioning
    sketch for the hole.

    I mirrored the entire part into a new part, not simply mirrored the
    holes within a part. What is particularily frustrating is SOME of the
    holes in the print of the mirrored part do dimension correctly with the
    correct depth callout.
