The Settings dialogue window normally appears each time you call the punching tools. You can activate the following options here:
Geometry, Detailing |
You define the representation of the punch here by activating/deactivating the relevant checkboxes. |
Bore depth |
Two methods are available for determining the bore depth: To next surface: The punch is generated to the next sheet of the part. Through: The punch completely penetrates the active sheet part. |
Reference plane for bore depth, countersink depth |
This setting is not relevant to punching. When inserting a blind hole into, say, 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. |
Fitting mode |
You define the plane for the fitting here. Prompt for processing plane: Before fitting a punching tool, you are prompted to identify a processing plane. Active processing plane: The active processing plane is used. If no processing plane is active, fitting is performed perpendicular to the xy-plane of the active coordinate system. |
Suppress window |
If you do not want to show these settings any more, activate the checkbox.
To display the window, activate the 3-D Standard tab and select the Standard Processings > Bore |
