different hole sizes in one sketch
different hole sizes in one sketch
(OP)
Using the hole command in NX-6, how can I have different diameter holes produced on a single sketch surface. Example:
rectangular plate with 2 holes .5 dia. and 2 holes .75 dia. using one sketch plane.
Your help is most welcome

RE: different hole sizes in one sketch
2) Create your 0.5 dia hole feature selecting 2 of the points <Apply>
3) Create your 0.75 dia hole feature selecting the other 2 points <OK>
Three features in your part navigator. I don't think you can have different hole types/sizes in a single hole feature is that is your intent.

2) create 1 .5 dia hole, position to edges of block OR center planes
3) repeat for the .75 dia hole
4) cretae 2 instances for the offset locations of your holes from the originals
Instead of instancing the holes place with locations the second ones fromcenter or edge
Be creative and write expressions to keep the holes centered on the block so when the block chnages size, the holes move
NX is very versatile in allowing multiple ways to get the same results.
