    I think that any negative primitive in a GMSET is considered a "bolt hole".
    Or, from another point of view, Bolt Holes Drawn toggle switches negatives on/off no matters if they are proper bolt holes or not.
    But I could be wrong.
    I have never investigated this in deep...

    Ok. So it could be that toggle works on specific "flanged" SKEYs or GTYP
    I am not sure, sorry.
    I will further investigate when I can and come back to you

    I did not find that to be true - I have a bleed ring in the PCOM category with negative geometry for a hole - its coming in fine in E3D without turning on the [LEFT][COLOR=#333333]Flange Bolt Holes Drawn box in the Graphics Settings.[/COLOR][/LEFT]

    If I am not wrong you want to rotate P3 @ 45 for instrument connection .
    If it is the case change PTCDIR Z 45 X OR Z 45 Y .

    It is possible that this "boltholes on/off" is only implemented on FLAN elements, which would explain why a PCOM reacts differently. I am currently trying to find out.

    Yees, so the piece of software that shows/hides the boltholes on flanges checks the element type, and it only operates on FLAN and FBLI elements which would explain why @annabauman got no holes on a PCOM element.

    Thank you Matts!!!

    Minor detail is there a reason why the negative geometry has a hard clash.  I assume you are going to have a lot of flanges in the model is it necessary to include the negative geometry in the clash check.  Adding the negative geometry will have an impact on a clash test.


    Yes I agree with you Graham.
