The Smart Depth tab is available when adding and editing annotation properties for callouts, balloons, and hole tables.

Smart Hole Depth

Through

Specifies a callout for a hole that enters one surface and exits the next surface.  When you use the Smart Hole Depth control for a through hole, Solid Edge reads the data in this box.

Finite depth

Specifies a callout for a hole that enters one surface but does not penetrate the next surface.  When you use the Smart Hole Depth control for a hole of finite depth, Solid Edge reads the data in this box.

Smart Thread Depth

Through

Specifies a callout for a thread depth that runs throughout a hole.  When you use the Smart Thread Depth control for a through thread, Solid Edge reads the data in this box.

Finite depth

Specifies a callout for a finite thread depth.  A finite thread depth enters one surface and goes a specified distance, but does not penetrate the next surface.  A finite thread depth does not necessarily run through the same depth of the hole in which it is placed.  When you use the Smart Thread Depth control for a thread of finite depth, Solid Edge reads the data in this box.

Special characters

Specifies mechanical font characters for the text boxes.  The available special characters are diameter, square, counterbore, countersink, depth, initial length, arc length, plus/minus, degree, between, and statistical tolerance.

Hole reference

Specifies hole and thread reference attributes for the text boxes.  The available attributes are Thread Size, Thread Depth, Counterbore Size, Counterbore Depth, Countersink Size, Countersink Angle, Hole Size, and Hole Depth.

Symbols and Values

Opens the Select Symbols and Values dialog box for you to generate the appropriate symbols and model-derived values without having to type the property text codes yourself. Examples of the types of symbols you can select include ± (plus minus), ° (degree), and ∅ (diameter). Examples of model-derived values include hole references, bend data, and weld beads.
