We can build a threaded hole by using the HoleWizard5Method(..., SSize,...). So, If I want to change the size  of this hole, what should I do? I can only change the size by change it's sketch dimensions, but the name of this hole won't change if I use that way.  So, How can I change the "Ssize"  directly? If there has an example about it, it will help me a lot. 

The name of this hole: "M22 螺纹孔1", for example.

Correct Answer

Here is a snipit of VBA code from a macro I wrote to do it.

 

Do While Not swFeature Is Nothing
   If swFeature.GetTypeName2 = "HoleWzd" Then
      Debug.Print "Updating: " & swFeature.Name
      Set swHoleWizardData = swFeature.GetDefinition

      frac = Fraction(swUserUnit.GetConversionFactor * swHoleWizardData.ThruHoleDiameter)
      ' use Chr(216) for holes that include diameter symbol in their string like "Ø5.0"
      bResult = swHoleWizardData.ChangeStandard(swHoleWizardData.Standard2, swHoleWizardData.FastenerType2,    frac)
      If bResult Then
         Result = swFeature.ModifyDefinition(swHoleWizardData, swModel, Nothing)
      End If

   Set swHoleWizardData = Nothing
   End If

   Set swFeature = swFeature.GetNextFeature
Loop
