DRILLING HOLE IN ASSY
DRILLING HOLE IN ASSY
(OP)
Ok... a question from my fellow engineer here...
He has an assy. The way it goes together is that two parts are welded together, then a hole is drilled through the entire thing.
Is there a way to create the hole at the assembly level? We want to keep the individual parts hole-free.
Thanks......

Creating an Assembly Feature
Assembly feature cuts and holes affect the assembly only; the individual part files are not affected. You can set the scope before you create an assembly feature, or you can edit the scope afterwards.
To create an assembly feature cut :
Open a sketch on a face or plane, and sketch a profile of the cut. The profile can contain more than one closed contour.
Click Insert, Assembly Feature, Cut, Extrude or Revolve.
Set the options as needed in the Cut-Extrude or Cut-Revolve PropertyManager.
To create an assembly feature hole:
Click the planar face approximately where you want to create the hole.
Click Insert, Assembly Feature, Hole, Simple or Wizard.
Set the options as needed in the Hole PropertyManager or Hole Definition dialog box.
To create an assembly feature pattern:
Create an assembly cut or hole.
Click Insert, Assembly Feature, and select one of the following: Linear Pattern, Circular Pattern, Table Driven Pattern, Sketch Driven Pattern.
To edit an assembly feature:
Right-click the assembly feature in the FeatureManager design tree, and select either Edit Sketch, Edit
