hole wizard quantity callout on opposite faces
hole wizard quantity callout on opposite faces
(OP)
I have a sheet metal part with a flange on each side. On the opposing outside faces of each flange are a series of countersunk holes, 6 on each side (using hole wizard). Each series of holes are thier own feature in the feature tree.
When I dimension thses holes in the drawing using the hole callout I would like to have the total number of times refect both features, 12X as opposed to 6X.
I have tried supressing the feature on one side and mirror features with no luck and tried to find a way to mirror the sketch point of one of the features also with no luck.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Use 3D sketch and place all 12 hole in single step. In drawing, click 'Import Model Item' from annotation & select hole callout from Dimension tab and click ok. Now SolidWorks automatically add number of instances in hole callout.

I've tried these things you mention and can't figure out how to get them to work. Do you do this successfully? Maybe I'm not understanding exactly what you're saying to do. So far I've always done what ctopher says and manually change the callout instances number on the print. If there's some way to make this parametric that works, would someone please explain it in a simple, clear, easy to understand manner?

Thanks

I personally find the 3D sketches a bit cumbersome, but sometimes they are the superior solution.
