The Hole feature option added for NPT, NPTF, and ISO-7 standard holes in Creo allows you to create a straight drilled hole in combination with the tapped, tapered hole section.
Hole charts (.hol files) are updated to drive thread depth and straight drill diameter.
The depth options for this straight drilled hole section include: Blind, To Next, Through All, Through Until, To Selected, and None. The default value is None that represents the same geometry as created by previous Creo Parametric versions. The new Tapered tip check box also provides additional geometric shape options.
Note : When the Tapered tip check box is not selected, the straight drill diameter is automatically calculated based on the tapered hole size and tapered section depth. Hole charts (.hol files) are updated to drive thread depth and straight drill diameter.
