I'm trying to create through and threaded holes to fix multiple latches onto a single plate using the hole wizard.
I'm fixing multiple intances of part A onto part B. When I perform the holes series it creates the holes on both intances of part A (because it's actually editing the part), but only once for part B. I see how this makes sense for it to work this way, but is there an easy way to do what I want to do?
I don't think there is a way to do what you want it to do. The hole series is not meant to be used with multiple instances of a part. Instead of hole sereis I think the easiest method would be to do the clearance holes on the latch in the part file, and do the tapped holes in the plate separately from within the assembly, and you would have to draw the hole locations at each hole of every instance of the latch. But if you have external references enabled the threaded holes can stay linked to the positions of the latches.
Evan,
Can you pattern your part A? If so, you could also pattern the holes and save a little work.
