Create hole concentric with circular object

Define a hole and place it concentric with a circular object.

  1. On the ribbon, click 3D Model tab Modify panel Hole .
  2. In the Holes dialog box, in Placement, select Concentric.
  3. In the graphics window, specify the hole position:
    • To place the hole, click a face or work plane.
    • Click a circular edge or cylindrical face to reference for the placement of the hole center.
  4. If there are two or more solid bodies in the part file, click the Solids selector and choose the participating solid bodies.
  5. Select the hole type: Drilled, Counterbore, Spotface, or Countersink.
  6. In Drill Point, select a type. If you choose the Angle drill point, set the angle.
  7. In Termination, select Distance, Through All, or To.

    If you select Distance or Through All, select whether to reverse (flip) the direction of the hole. If you select To, specify a surface or an extended face on which to terminate the hole.

  8. Choose the hole type:
    • Simple No additional settings are needed.
    • Clearance Specify the fastener to fit to the hole. Select the standard, fastener type, fastener size, and fastener fit.
    • Tapped Set thread type, size, designation, and class, and select the right-hand or left-hand direction. If partial depth is needed, clear the Full Depth check box and set the depth on the hole preview image.
    • Taper Tapped Specify the thread type and size and right-hand or left-hand direction, and Autodesk Inventor automatically determines the diameter, taper angle, and thread depth.
      Note: You cannot use a Taper Tapped Hole with Counterbore.
  9. Set the values for the hole parameters in the hole preview image. Click the arrow and select a value, use the Measure command, Show Dimensions, or set Tolerances in the Tolerance dialog box.
  10. Click OK to create the hole with the specified parameters.
