1. Click > . The Hole tab opens.
2. Select an axis on the model. This is your primary placement reference for the coaxial hole. The selection is highlighted. The
Coaxial placement type is selected on the
Placement tab. The hole preview geometry is aligned to the selected axis.
3. Click
Standard to create a standard hole. The standard hole options are shown.
4. Click the Offset References collector on the Placement tab to activate it and select a surface or a datum plane as the offset reference to constrain the hole.
5. In the
Thread type list, select the industry-standard hole chart (
ISO,
UNC, or
UNF).
6. In the
Screw size box, type or select a screw size.
| If you enter a screw size that is not listed, the system selects the closest screw size. You can also drag the hole diameter handle to select a screw size. |

a. Click
Counterbore on the
Hole tab.
b. To define the counterbore diameter or depth, click the
Shape tab and type or select a new counterbore
diameter or counterbore depth in the corresponding boxes.
10. To represent the hole with lightweight geometry, click
Lightweight.
11. To ensure that the entire top of the hole intersects the outside of the solid geometry, on the
Shape tab, select the
Top Clearance check box.
12. To select the bodies from which geometry is removed, click the Body Options tab and select an option:
◦ To cut geometry from all the bodies that the feature passes through, select All.
◦ To cut geometry from selected bodies:
1. Select Selected.
