Remember constraints on hexagon cut
Remember constraints on hexagon cut
(OP)
Hi,
I ask to you if exist a solution to add a hexagon insert on a hexagon cut.
I can't use the hexagon cut face because the hexagon value is different from the hexagon insert.
This tolerance from 0.1 to 0.3 mm depend on the treatment applied...galvanization or painting.
For example on my sheet metal part I make a hexagon cut of 13.2 mm and I insert an hexagon insert of 13 mm.
The flat pattern dxf is used for laser cut machine and the 0.2 mm because the sheet metal part is painted.
But sometime the cut is 13 mm because the part is galvanized, so the user decide the cut hexagon cut depending on the treatment process.
So I would like to use the virtual axis present in the hexagon insert to mate itself on the hexagon cut.
But the hexagon cut doesn't have virtual axis as the holes.
Have you some suggestion to insert this fastener in a rapid way with remember constraints ?
Thank you...

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

thank you for your suggestion, I've thought this solution, but I'm looking for some more easy and rapid mates as a Touch-Align and other Touch-Align for axis.
UDF can produce axis as holes ?

excuse for doubt, you're right, your solution is the best.
Thank you...
