Bore
Bore describes a cylindrical recess or through-hole that must be machined into the part. The object collects the dimensional callouts that define the bore’s diameter, depth, tolerances, and positional references. It also records notes about surface finish, counterbore or countersink pairings, and associated features such as threads or plugs. When the API encounters a bore specification on the drawing, it normalizes that information into this model so downstream applications can reason about hole-making operations. You can use the object to generate toolpaths, validate machining capabilities, estimate cycle time, or check whether mating fasteners will fit. Because bores are fundamental to mechanical design, the model is designed to capture both simple drilled holes and more complex stepped geometries in a single, consistent structure.
