Mirror Part & Hole Wizard Features
Mirror Part & Hole Wizard Features
(OP)
Hello all,
It has been a few years since this was last posted (from what I see) and I was hoping that someone may have come up with a work around.
When creating a mirrored part from an original that has hole wizard features the HW features do not have the same hole callout info as the original part (no quantity of holes, etc.) I sent in an ER back in '06 I believe about this and no change so far (not suprised).
Anyone have a fix for this other than manually changing the hole callouts to read properly?
Thanks,
BB

This is a limitation in SolidWorks at the moment. The hole callout is generated by using the information that is available in the hole feature. Since a mirror/pattern part feature does not contain any feature information which can be verified when opening the part file and observing the mirror/pattern feature content under the part FeatureManager tree, the hole callout quantity turns to be wrong.
This issue has been identified and reported to the development team on SPRs:
SPR# 224319 - No quantity appears in hole callout for the holes created using sketch pattern.
Status: Open
SPR# 184518 - Not all the information of hole wizard is shown in the hole call out of a mirrored part.
Status: Under review (Future release) 2011 a1

This means that this issue has been resolved with Alpha version 1 of Solidworks 2011. But it has not finished the quality testing for the fix. I have tested it on beta 3 of 2011 the issue was resolved there. The say it is under review until production release.
