Issue:
In Inventor 2021 through 2023 when adding a clearance Hole feature, if a face or point(s) is not selected, the thread values don't update if you change the size to get a preview of the dimensions.
Changing the Size in the pull down-menu doesn't update the dimension preview in the 'Behavior' section of the Hole Property Panel:
In previous versions these values would update with no position geometry (face, plane or sketch/work points) selected.
Causes:
This is a confirmed issue logged with Incident ID:66875 in this Autodesk article:
If a point or face is NOT selected in the hole command for a clearance + counter bore hole, the diameter in the behavior section does not change when the hole diameter changes for Inventor
Solution:
To be able to see clearance dimension values update as you choose a different size, select a face or plane in the Hole Property Panel:
Note: Tapped and Taper Tapped hole dimension values update without the need to pre-select a face or plane.
