I have been trying to use the hole series and toolbox, but
not working how I would like...
I would like to be able to select a face in an assembly to add a hole series based on a screw size. For example:
I have a file SHCS-SAE.slprt that contains configurations of all SHCS sizes that we stock. The user would select this file and drag it onto a face (or select a starting face) and the necessary holes would be inserted based on the configuration that is selected and an end component. I would like the thread engagement to fixed and the counterbore depth driven by the screw length... we often adjust counterbore depths to accomodate our stock screws lengths.
Is there a way to add a library feature to an assembly? I messed around with smart fasteners in 2006, but I did not see where you can create your own fastners any more.
Anyone have a better method for inserting holes into stacked plates?
