Use the Leader Text tool to add notes to elements in a drawing. If you attach
the leader line to geometry in a view, the note is moved or deleted when the
view is moved or deleted.
The Format Text dialog box is used to enter text and to set the text parameters.
Using Hole and Thread Notes
Hole and thread notes document both internal and external hole features or
threaded objects. These notes typically contain information necessary to
manufacture a threaded feature:
■ Hole diameter and depth
■ Thread size and depth
■ Counterbore or countersink size
■ Quantity, especially for hole patterns
Use the Hole/Thread Notes tool to add hole notes and thread information to
holes and threaded features in drawing views.
Autodesk Inventor captures the information used when creating holes and
threaded features on a part. This information accurately generates the hole
or thread notes in drawing views. If you modify a hole or threaded feature,
the hole or thread note is automatically updated.
Hole and thread notes are generated according to the current drafting standard.
Right-click a hole note, and then choose Text from the context menu to change
its format and choice of parameters.
A thread is always considered right hand unless otherwise specified. A left-hand
thread is always labeled LH on a drawing.
Thread Representations
Autodesk Inventor drawings present threads using the simplified method.
Visible external threads display in side views, sections views, and shaded views.
In a drawing view, you can add hole and thread notes to features created using
the hole feature or thread feature tools in parts. In addition, a hole note may
be added to extruded cuts (except midplane extrusions), iFeatures, holes in
patterns, and sheet metal flat patterns.
