Good Morning

I have searched the forum for an answer and have probably gotten more confused so I wanted to start my own thread.  I would like to create custom hole for the way we create our dowel holes.  When we make a dowel hole we will actually create two hole features.  One is a 1/32 undersize drill and the other is either a slip or press fit for the dowel.  We run the 1/32 undersize drill deeper than the dowel hole so it is easier to manufacture.  I would like to create a new hole feature that has both of these features in one hole feature.  It is my understanding that all hole features have a sketch and a revolve cut driving the actual feature creation.  The database changes the numbers to the sketch to make it the correct size.

Am I right in saying that I would need to be able to create this new sketch and link it to a database to be able to create these new hole type?

I hope this makes sense.

I appreciate any input.

Thanks
