Re: [Unsolved] How to retrieve Hole information from model

@bdm' s clever idea should work. edwilliams16 looks like you are right about bdm’s code. I’m playing and testing it and studying it more. bdm I didn’t understand what your code was doing, it is impressive.

[Solved] How to retrieve Hole information from model

When I select the hole in this part the text box shows the diameter, length, etc. In this case the hole is tapped with a ¼- 20 thread. I would like to show the tap size in the textbox.
Where do I find the hole Parameters in FreeCAD models?
Thanks.
