Finally, the legacy hole is customizable hole feature that allows you to input various sizing to construct a hole specific to your needs. Straight tapped holes add a constant threading along the hole direction while tapered tapped holes add the varying hole and thread size with respect to the hole depth. The drilled hole type allows access to various drill sizes and varieties, such as a dowel, fractional, helicoil, number/letter sizing, screw clearances, and finally regular or pipe tapped drills. The counterbored and countersink holes add a flat-bottomed hole cut and angled lead on the top side of the hole which is often used to sit fasteners flush with the surface of the part. Among each of those options, Hole Wizard also allows you to generate counterbore, countersink, and traditional slots. To position the hole at a specific height or angle, lines can be inserted (using Along X/ Along Y/ Along Z and Coincident sketch relations) and an angular dimension can be defined to position the hole at a certain angle.Įither of these methods provide means of modifying the position of the hole, if necessary.The hole option types are counterbore, countersink, drill, s traight tapped, tapered tap and legacy.
Placing the hole on the surface should create an On Surface sketch relation.ģ. Hover over the curved surface and click to place the hole ( Sketch Point). Start by inserting a Hole Wizard feature ( Insert > Feature > Hole Wizard), specify the Type of Hole, then click on the Positions tab and select on the 3D Sketch button.Ģ. Inserting a Hole Wizard on a Curved Surface using a 3D Sketchġ. If desired, dimensions can be added to position and fully-define the Hole Wizard positioning sketch.
Once the Reference Plane has been inserted, start the Hole Wizard feature ( Insert > Features > Hole Wizard), specify the Type of Hole, then click on the Positions tab and select on the newly created Reference Plane.
One example of references in creating the reference plane might be: (1) Tangent to the curved face and (2) Angled off a plane (such as a Front Plane)Ģ. Create a reference plane ( Insert > Reference Geometry > Plane…) positioning where the hole is to be inserted. Inserting a Hole Wizard on a Curved Surface using a 2D Sketchġ. I’ll go through both the 2D Sketch Plane and 3D Sketch Plane methods. Sometimes there is the need to insert a hole on a non-planar/curved surface – so how is this accomplished? When positioning a hole with the Hole Wizard feature, you need to select to insert the hole with a 2D Sketch Plane or a 3D Sketch Plane.
