Hole wizard. Cannot constrain the first hole to another reference hole.
Hole wizard. Cannot constrain the first hole to another reference hole.
(OP)
Hi, I have SW 2011. When I try to use the hole wizard, it asks to select the plane (for the hole), when I select the plane, the first hole is placed wherever the plane was selected. However, I want it to be concentric to an already existing hole and it doesn't give me a way to add relations.
I always have this problem with the first hole. When I hover the mouse over other existing holes, I get the small + symbol where I could constrain this new hole. I cannot go back to add relation to the first hole.
Any solution to this?
Thanks.

RE: Hole wizard. Cannot constrain the first hole to another reference hole.
A detter workflow for you is to first select your plane/face then invoke hole wizard. This will give you a 2D sketch as opposed to a 3D sketch. Sketch point placement will be much easier then.

SW12 changed the work flow so that a point is not created at the selected face, and allows the sketch points to be placed directly onto existing features or sketches.
