The Hole Template Editor allows you to define and manage hole machining templates directly within Fusion, enabling more precise and automated hole recognition and machining workflows. This tool is especially useful when working with complex or custom hole geometries that require specific machining strategies.
Build detailed signatures using Cylinder, Cone, and Torus segments. Each segment's dimensions can be specific, within a given range, or any size. A graphical preview updates as you edit.
Optionally restrict matching by model color, thread designation on Cylinder segments, or PMI-based dimensions and tolerances.
Pick a hole signature directly from the model and preview which holes currently match the signature.
Assign a priority to control which template matches first when multiple templates apply.
Add, remove, reorder, and edit operations used by the template, including choosing a specific tool for an operation. You can also create fallback operations that automatically run when a primary operation cannot complete holes due to collision avoidance. Fallback operations typically use longer tools to reach areas where the primary operation encountered collisions.
