Two hole patterns in same part

bill_daniels

I have a part (essentially a flange) with two concentric rings of countersunk holes.  The hole patterns are countersunk from opposite sides of the part.  Making the part model was easy but when I create a drawing, the hole labeling function only works for one ring of holes.  I can label one ring of holes or the other but not both.  Is this a limitation?

@bill_daniels, You should label both hole in your Onshape drawing provided both flange face are not in angle. Sometimes user cannot give hole callout to both holes due to following reason.
1) Drawing view of associated hole face is not parallel to viewer. If hole associated face situated are in some angle then user cannot give hole callout.
2) One of the hole are not created in part studio with the help of hole feature.
If then also you are facing problem then please share your document link or image of your drawing where you want to label.

I think this is correct.  The part was originally imported as a STEP file from another CAD application.  I am finding STEP export-import process doesn't always produce completely intact shapes.  My solution was to reverse engineer the STEP part and re-create it in OnShape - that worked fine.
