Error: The Tool & Target Do Not Form A Complete Intersection
(OP)
I have a solid body where I've been putting .250 dia holes thru the body of a tab. Some of the holes went through and inserted just fine. Now I have a hole that gives me the error in the subject line. Can anyone help with this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Brent

And can you post the part?

I'm using the Hole command and putting in a general hole using a projected curve centerline as the axis for the hole. I am new to the software, 2 months in right now, so I'm not sure what posting a part means. I can tell you that I created my file from a parasolid from our customer. It is a thin part that is laser trimmed. Our fixture holds this part that has tabs around the perimeter. When I started putting holes in the tabs, the very first hole, the hole was too close to the outside boundry, but the hole still went in successfully. I just simply moved face to give the tab more geometry for the hole. But when I went around the corner to another tab, I started getting this error. I moved the face eventually, and the hole went in just fine. I wonder why the first hole went in and some did not with not having the geometry.
Anyway, I think I have the problem solved. Just trying to learn what happened to create the error.
Thanks,
Brent

Most probably it is the projection which is causing a problem. What is the reason you are using a projected curve and not just a normal vector for the hole?

I apologize in advance; however, it is not legal for us to send these part files to anyone but the customer.

Check the following in the Hole creation Window:
Hole>Form and Dimensions> Depth Limit> THRU BODY
Hole>Settings>Extend Start> YES

When working on imported geometry (you mention a parasolid file from your customer), the first thing you should do after import is run the examine geometry command to ensure that you are starting with good geometry. I would also recommend running the "optimize face" and/or the "heal geometry" commands before starting work on the imported geometry. These commands can help clean up minor geometry problems in the file. If, after running these commands, examine geometry still shows errors (body consistency being a big one); I'd suggest contacting the customer to see if they can clean up the file and try again or try a different export format.
