Hole tables.
Hole tables.
(OP)
Hi,
I currently use solidworks to design hydraulic manifolds, removing surfaces and being able to get holes close together is great but when it comes to drawing it up im a bit confused.
If i put a cross drilling with a 1/8"npt hole in a face for a socket grub screw plug, in order to ensure the plug does not stick proud of the block we put a 11.5dia x 3 deep counterbore. The problem comes when using hole tables, if i select the face it will only see the 11.5 holes. If i select the npt thread it will only see that and if i select both the face and the hole it lists them as two holes with different tag numbers. How can i get it to list the one hole as a 1/8"npt hole with 11.5 c.bore.
It does do this sometimes but i cant get any consistant results.
Im currently typing manual tables which seems to defeat the whole object!
Cheers for any help

RE: Hole tables.
Instead of using a counterbore, could you use the Hole Wizards Near side countersink option? If you can use this option, it will show up as a single hole in the Hole Table.
