Hole callouts

I've run into several issues with hole callouts in SW2006 that I didn't have in SW2005. I have yet to report any (shame on me), but this could be part of what your seeing as well.

I've given up reporting issues on hole callouts. They can't be relied on to give accurate info on holes of any complexity but the very simplest. In most cases, I have to verify that it is actually giving a correct description. A lot of the time I have a simple hole, and it is correct. For the rest, I have to build a hole callout manually.

I do agree with the others that the Hole Callout is still lacking in functionality, but in this case there is a legitimate answer (all tho I don't like, and you probably won't it either)...

SW Hole Callouts follow ANSI Standards which say no Hidden Lines are to be dimensioned...therefore everything is expected to be dimensioned from the Near Side. So SW doesn't prevent you from dimensioning from the Far Side, but the callout will be the same whether you are dimensioning from the Near or Far side...so watch out.

What happens if you have a hole that is counterbored on the near side and countersunk on the far side?

Yeah....but I meant that the hole callout would list the countersink, even if it was on the opposite side and therefore hidden - it wouldn't comply with the ANSI standard,
