Drilling holes in components without effecting the actual part

Drilling holes in components without effecting the actual part

(OP)
Hi all,

I have an assembly in which i want to drill holes for some of components as an assembly feature. But this should not disturb the original part(of component). Can you please suggest the best way to do this?

Thanks in advance

RE: Drilling holes in components without effecting the actual part


create the holes as clinders then...
 use insert-> combine->assembly cut  

RE: Drilling holes in components without effecting the actual part

You could link the solids in the assembley and add the holes to the linked body.  They will not appear in the components.

... or use promotions and add the holes.

uwam2ie got it right the first time!  Use 'Assembly Cut' as that's what it was designed for.
