Locating Holes

You can constrain the location of the hole to be created without using the Sketcher workbench tools.

Before you begin:

To perform this task in the Functional Modeling Part workbench, sketch a profile similar to the one used for creating the pad as shown below then return to the workbench, and then create a shellable prism.

  1. Multi-select both edges as shown and the upper face which is the face on which you wish to position the hole.



  2. Click the Part Design Hole capability or the Functional Modeling Part Hole capability. The preview displays two constraints defining the distances between the hole's center and the edges.

  3. Define the parameters in the dialog box to create the desired hole. The application previews the constraints you are creating.

  4. To access the constraint values, double-click the constraint of interest. This displays the Constraint Definition dialog box in which you can edit the value.

  5. Click OK to create the hole. The application positions the hole using constraints.



Tip: The alternative way of accessing the constraints consists in double-clicking the sketch in the specification tree to enter the Sketcher workbench. You can then edit the constraints if you wish to reposition the hole.
