Hole Table and Cut-Extruded text
Hole Table and Cut-Extruded text
(OP)
I have a simple plate with a fair number of threaded holes. Also on this plate there is text that will be impression stamped onto the part. I have used the cut-extrude feature to show this on the part.
I am using the hole table function to locate the holes. Problem is the hole table is locating each character of text as well as the location of each hole.
I poked around and cannot find a way to have the hole table ignore the cut-extruded text. Is there a way around this?
Thanks,
Lon

Or, create all the holes first, make the hole table, then add the text.

RE: Hole Table and Cut-Extruded text
I did generate the table first then added text after. It updated the table.
What I just tried and seems to work fine is selecting each hole as opposed to the face of the part. Took a while longer to do that. With the number of holes involved it would have been quicker to select the face, then deselect each character of text.
If anyone has a better way, I would be glad to hear it
Thanks

The "holes only" config would be used for the hole table reference, and the "all included" config for the stamping process.

RE: Hole Table and Cut-Extruded text
What worked was the configuration method. As the hole table does not have an option for choosing a specific config, I had the no text config active when using the hole table, then change back to config with text to show what text detail and location.
Thanks for the help
RE: Hole Table and Cut-Extruded text
Don't have time to play so I deleted the cut extrude and extruded text out. That worked fine, for now. No auto matic update.
When I get a moment I will try the offset plane and extrude test up.

When using the config method you will need to permanently have the "no text" view referenced to the hole table. The "with text" config should be used in a separate view.

The link shows both configs with a separate Hole Table assigned to each.
