Selecting Type and Main Geometrical Parameters of Holes

Предыдущая страницаВ началоСледующая страница

Select the type of the holes being created in the operation parameters window. The list of holes contains all elements in the hole utility library (Hole Features or Hole Features Inch).

Type of a hole can be selected either from the quick access drop-down list or by clicking the corresponding icon. If you select type from the list and it is not presented among icons below, the new icon will replace the last right icon.

Item Type in the drop-down list allows you to select element from custom libraries added to selection list.

Library Configuration

A schematic chart of a hole of the selected type is provided in the lower portion of the parameters window, with input boxes for all its geometrical parameters. To specify any dimension, just placed the cursor in the respective input box in the chart and type in the desired value (or select one from the list). Variables may be used as values. In this case the value of parameter will be assigned to the nearest value from the appropriate list.

Hide Connectors. Flag allows hiding connectors of created holes.

Retain material. When active, body’s basic material will be applied to the created hole faces. Otherwise, the coating material will be used.

Use Document Parameters. The option is used for holes created using the fragments mechanism. If this option is enabled, the hole uses document parameters, for example, the units. If this option is disabled, the hole will use parameters from the fragment.

Reach-through asymmetric hole (e.g. with one side chamfer) may be turned upside-down by its axis direction with option Turn over. Often this flag is used for mold-base design. Note that this flag will affect all holes from the set being created.

The initially defined type and dimensions of holes can be modified at any time while creating or editing holes (before the confirmation by pressing AutomenuOk1).
