Analyzing Piercing of Holes

You can check whether the input direction of the hole (painting, mounting or position hole) can be cut with the corresponding tolerances.

Before you begin: Your administrator has created a DieFaceDesign standard, from which the types of holes and corresponding tolerances are read.

For more information, see Administration: Managing Standards.
