Creo TOOLKIT supports four types of Holes:

The Standard Hole type is sub-divided into two categories:

This section details the procedure and the sequence of the creation of the element tree for all of the above types.

All Hole types and placement types require entry of specific elements during element tree creation. Elements must be entered in the specified order.

To create a Hole feature, first add to the element tree all elements related to the hole type. Then, add the elements required for Hole placement. Creating Sketched Holes uses techniques similar to creation of the other sketched features (see Element Trees: Sketched Features).

You can use Intent Datums such as Intent Point, Intent Axis, and Intent Plane for hole placement in parts.

Lightweight holes can be created only in parts and not in assemblies. You can toggle between a lightweight and regular hole, only in case of simple holes and not in sketched, standard, or custom holes.
