Symbol for configurable drilling?

Hello
Quick question:

  • In SolidWorks drawings, using the " Symbol for Drilling " tool

Is it possible to remove the " THROUGH EVERYTHING "? on a countersink it's a bit useless...

Thank you

Hello @PaaKo,
I agree that the information " THROUGH EVERYTHING " doesn't make sense for a countersink.

Hello;
Yes, it is possible to change the titles of the symbol annotations for the holes.
To do this, you have to scrape in the " calloutformat.txt " file
I had already mentioned this file in the posts:
https://forum.mycad.visiativ.com/t/classe-de-filettage/110738/6
and

Hello;

WARNING: the mention A TRAVERS TOUT does not refer to countersinking, but to drilling Ø6.5.
The depth of the countersink is 6 and indicated after the symbol
image.
For this mention is useful if there is no other view that shows the through-opening character of the Ø6.5 hole.

For my part, I replaced " A TRAVERS TOUT " with " DEBOUCHANT "

We had changed 15 years ago at the request of our mecha workshop and in the next version of SW we never remodified the callout file (which is still difficult to modify)
And the staff adapted to this comment without any problems. (even if indeed not very frendly at the 1st approach)
And if it is indeed useless in this case I find it hard to see a hole with a non-penetrating counterbore, it does not really disturb the realization either and perhaps prevents a person without experience from making a non-unobstructing lamé hole.
