Summary


Details

I want to place Feature Callouts for simple and threaded holes according to ISO standards and want to have one single Dimension Style only.  It seems to be impossible to define the Smart Depth and the Feature Callout in a way that all callouts apply to the ISO standard as seen in the image below:


Solution

Here are the required definitions to achieve a Dimension Callout according to ISO standard as seen above.
In your dimension style properties set Smart Depth and Feature Callout options as follows:


Property text codes in the above settings are as follows:

%HD - hole depth
%TD - thread depth
%DI - diameter sign
%HS - hole size
%TS - thread size
%ZH - smart depth
%ZT - smart thread depth

For more property text codes see the appropriate chapter in Solid Edge 2020 Help:

http://docs.plm.automation.siemens.com/tdoc/se/2020/se_help/#uid:index

With the above definitions you can place a dimension or a callout using the Feature Callout and achieve the dimensions as seen in the very first picture.
