Circular feature pattern?
Circular feature pattern?
(OP)
How can one make a circular pattern of an axially drilled hole on a part around its symmetri axis? This may seem as a trivial question, but i will not make 7 datum planes to make 14 axially drilled holes... anyone?

1. When sketching the base feature, use the Radial pattern to place the hole profiles in the initial sketch. The part will contain the holes from the beginning.
2. If you created a part without any holes, then you have to create another part with the shape of the hole.
Further, in Assembly module create instances for both the base part and the part representing the hole. Position the "hole" part instance as you need and then use Radial pattern to create additional "hole" part instances. In the end, use Merge/Cut Instances to subtract the "hole" part instances from the base part.

Once you created the solid (filled) representation of the "hole", use the second approach I mentioned.
