Hi,
Please see attached .DWG & screen shot below.
I have diam 18 holes drilled in a plate, with edge distances of 35mm & 48mm. I have the drill border offset check to minimum 29.5mm. The Drill Border Offset Check is reporting a false error for this element. When using this tool to check parts, the offending/error parts have their colour changed - is that correct?
DrillBorderOffset.dwg
Is my understanding of this tool correct (checking drilling edge distances)?
Does anyone have any success using this tool?
Is there anyway to get it to perform correctly?
Thanks for any help.
I have found that disabling solid-kernel display mode seems will enable the drill border check to run correctly. I have not tested this extensively.

Just had a quick look at the dialog box for the border check tool shown in the OP, the border check dimensions seem to be from the edge of element to edge of hole, rather than to centre of hole. Probably someone else can confirm/dispute this. So with the 35 edge distance for dia18 hole, the "border check" distance would be 26 = 35-9 which fails the check.
