Settings for Bores (3-D)

3-D Standard > Standard Processings > Bore > Settings

Use this function to specify the settings for the fitting of bores.

Geometry and Detailing

The options in the Geometry and Detailing areas determine the representation of standard processings. You can select whether you want to show them with or without thread, in exact or simplified representation.

Bore depth

• To next surface

The bore is created, in "bore direction", up to the next surface of the part.

• Through

The bore penetrates the part to its complete "height".

Example

(1) Original part, (2) Bore depth up to next surface, (3) Bore depth, through

Reference plane

In various cases, such as when fitting a slot in a thread, you can specify a reference plane for the bore depth. You can choose between

• the entry surface (of the existing thread) and
• the current processing plane.
  

Example

(1) Original part with thread runout, bore depth 20, processing plane (1.1) and entry surface (1.2)

(2) Slot fitting, bore depth 30, reference plane = entry surface

(3) (3) Slot fitting, bore depth, reference plane = processing plane

Fitting mode

Here, you specify the plane for the fitting.

• Prompt for processing plane
  Before fitting a standard part, you are prompted for the definition/identification of a processing plane.
• Active processing plane
  The currently active processing plane is used. If no processing plane is active, the fitting is performed perpendicular to the xy-plane of the active coordinate system.
• Contact surface
  The system searches for a common surface with another part.
  

Suppress window

The corresponding setting window is normally displayed each time a fitting function is called. If you do not want this to happen, activate the Suppress window checkbox. If you want to make subsequent changes to the settings, you will need to activate the relevant setting function explicitly.
