Creating and Positioning Advanced Hole Instances

To create and position advanced hole instances:

  1. In the PropertyManager, select the Positions tab.
    You can select multiple points or use a sketch to create multiple holes.
    If you forget to select the Positions tab and click , the software prompts you to select a point on the face to locate the hole. Click OK in the prompt to open the Positions tab and the Sketch toolbar.
  2. Click Center Rectangle (Sketch toolbar) and sketch a rectangle, using the sketch origin on the face as the center.
  3. Click to close the Center Rectangle PropertyManager and return to the Hole Position PropertyManager.
    The software creates five instances of the hole, including a sketch point at the selected origin. You want to remove the center instance.

  4. Under Instances to Skip, select the center instance orb to remove only this instance from the preview.
    Under Sketch Options, you can select Create instances on construction geometry to create instances using construction geometry.
