Solid Modeling Overview

The design intent is for the hole to pass through the entire model.
When the Pad changes from 5.00 to 6.00, the resulting geometry
displays differently depending on how the hole is limited. If the
hole was created with a depth of 5.00, it no longer passes though
the entire part. It must be changed to maintain the design intent.
A better solution is to set the limit of the hole using Up To Last
option and ensure that it always passes through the part,
regardless of the height of the Pad feature.
Method 3
A third method of capturing design intent is to create symmetrical
geometry. The design intent for the part (shown in Figure 1–8) is
to have the Pocket remain at the center of the part.
Figure 1–8
Constraining the Pocket from either end of the Pad feature does
not capture the design intent. Constructing the Pad and Pocket
relative to a center datum reference is preferable.
