Change cut direction of a hole in hole wizard
Change cut direction of a hole in hole wizard
(OP)
I am trying to cut a tapped hole through a cylinder using the hole wizard. I created a plane at a 45 degree angle to my right plane (the cylinder extrudes up from the top plane) and the cylinders temporary axis. I then select the plane, select hole wizard, and place a point on the temp axis. I want to do a through all cut, but the problem is it is cutting in the wrong direction. When I click on the arrows next to the through all selection nothing happens. Is this a bug? SP3.1 Thanks

RE: Change cut direction of a hole in hole wizard
While I do not know if it is a bug. You can manually force the hole to go in the opposite direction by editing the revolve sketch. Make the dimensions driven so the sketch is undefined, then drag the sketch so it is going in the opposite direction. Make the dimensions driven again. You should also now be able to edit the feature without having the hole jump back to the other side.
