Turned Hole features are created and controlled in the same way as milled hole features. They are manufactured in a similar manner, with the exception that the material instead of the tool is rotating when turning.
To create a turned Hole feature:
- Click the
Features
step in the
Steps panel.
- In the
From Dimensions section, select
Hole and click
Next to open the
New Feature - Dimensions page.
If a dimension field has a blue label, you can click it and 'pick' the dimension from objects in the graphics window.
- Select the type of Hole from the
Type list.
- A Plain Hole is a simple Hole with an optional chamfer.
- A Counter Bore Hole.
- A Counter Sink Hole.
- A Counter Drill Hole.
- A Tapped Hole is a Hole that is under-sized drilled and then tapped.
- A CD Tapped Hole is a counter drilled Hole with the bottom part of the hole tapped.
- Enter a
Diameter value.
Tip: If you are building holes from circles, select the circle before opening the wizard to pre-populate this field.
- Enter how deep the Hole is in the Depth field.
- Select
Through to increase the hole length by 10% of the hole diameter to account for the drill tip and prevent burring.
Depending on the type of hole you selected, you may have other dimensions to fill in such as Chamfer and Drill Depth. For tapped holes, you can click Standard Threads and select a thread standard and size. Each thread type sets the Thread depth, TPI, and Diameter dimensions.
- Click Next to open the New Feature - Location page.
- Enter the location of the hole.
- Click Next to open the New Feature - Strategies page. The options on this page are the same as those on the Strategy tab of the Hole Feature Properties dialog.
- Click Next to open the New Feature - Operations page.
- Click Next to open the New Feature - Tool Usage page.
- Click Next to open the New Feature - Summary page.
- Click Finish to create the feature and exit the wizard or click Back to return to previous pages.
You can edit the feature later.
Tip: You can click
Finish at any stage during the wizard to accept the default settings for the remaining pages and exit.
