Copy hole?

Copy hole?

Copy hole?

(OP)
Is there anyway to copy a hole (general, drill, screw, threaded, etc) from one part to another part in a separate file? If not, then is there a way to copy the properties of the hole that I want to duplicate and paste those properties into an existing hole in another part in a separate file?

Thank you,

RE: Copy hole?

Have you tried to 'Copy & Paste' the Hole feature?

RE: Copy hole?

(OP)
Yes, but with no success. I right click on the hole that I want to copy and select copy. Now, where do I paste that to?

Thank you,

RE: Copy hole?

Paste it into the part file that contains the body you want to add the hole to (subtract the hole from?). When you perform the paste operation, a dialog will open allowing you to specify the necessary equivalent references in the new file (placement plane, direction references, body, etc).

RE: Copy hole?

You need to have both parts open in the same NX session. ( The "copy" is only active as long as the master file is open. DO NOT close this file before pasting.)
Open part to copy from , Copy .
Window- pick the receiver part.
Paste.

Should work.

Tomas
