Hole layout table in model
Hole layout table in model
(OP)
I have another coming from Pro-E to NX6 question.
In Pro, if I had several holes in some random pattern, you could import a spreadsheet with the coordinates. Is there an equivalent?
Also, in this case I happen to be doing this at the assembly level and looks like I have to use the Assembly Cut feature. So I have a 50ft beam with tons of hole patterns and I have to create an extrude with all the hole locations. Seems cumbersome to have to place and constrain over a hundred holes. Please help if I'm going in the wrong direction.
Thanks in advance.

Now restert NX and with you drawing open and part displayed in a view you can see the holes, you go to...
Insert -> Table -> Hole Table...
...follow the dialog steps and the status line prompts.

RE: Hole layout table in model
Hopefully future enhancements will tag the holes with a number on the screen, so you know exactly which hole you are editing in the spreadsheet.
Hopefully you can upgrade soon enough to help you out.
