smart component help.

smart component help.

(OP)
I am looking for a way to make a part "smart" i am trying to make a bracket that when put into an assembly it automatically puts two holes in what i mate it to.
now im not sure of the best way to approach this, or if its even possible. but its a simple bracket with two mounting holes in it.
also im using sw2011, if that matters

RE: smart component help.

Have you taken the Assembly Modeling class offered by your VAR? Smart components are covered. Otherwise Smart Components are covered in the Tutorials. Go to Help-->Tutorials, and then look under All SoidWorks Tutorials (Set 2). What you have described doesn't sound complicated at all so I'm sure it is possible.
