Hole callouts from the Hole Wizard, ordinate hole positions, and holes that read as holes

Drawings now call out holes the way they were made: 4× M5×0.8 THRU for tapped holes, with the counterbore, countersink and clearance symbols. The part sheet places every hole by ordinate dimensions from a datum corner and dimensions the pocket, fillets and chamfer. The isometric views no longer make holes look like posts.

After: The motor mount plate's part sheet before (holes called ⌀4.2, no positions) and after (4× M5×0.8 THRU, ordinate hole positions, 40 × 40 ▽ 4, 4× R6, 1 × 45°)

Isometric holes

Each projected hole is matched to its Hole Wizard feature, pattern and mirror copies included, and identical holes are grouped. Tapped: M5×0.8 THRU, or M5×0.8 ▽ 10 with the ⌀4.2 tap drill. Counterbore: ⌀5.5 THRU, ⌴ ⌀9.5 ▽ 5.4. Countersink: ⌀5.5 THRU, ⌵ ⌀11.2 × 90°. Clearance: ⌀5.3 THRU with its ISO 273 fit. A round cut reads ⌀22 THRU.

On the motor mount plate's sheet, the hole centres are dimensioned from the datum corner: X 0, 40, 46, 60, 74, 80 and Y 0, 20, 26, 40, 54, 60. The pocket reads 40 × 40 ▽ 4, the corners 4× R6 and the edge 1 × 45°. Holes get centre marks, and side views get centrelines. Every value is measured from the solid, and no text overlaps another or a drawn edge.

Isometric and exploded views are drawn with hidden lines removed, as is usual for pictorial views. The dashed hole walls under each rim had made holes read as pegs. Short hidden edges in the standard views get a finer dash so they still read as hidden.
