Custom SW Hole Feature

[pkpavv]

Dear All,

I am in the process of creating some hole features(Corresponding to some standard cavities we use in hydraulic valve packs). The following model is an example how I did it.It is working well for all surfaces (Vertical & horizontal)with only one exception.

It will work correctly only if we select reference edges on the actaul model only in the direction(Counter Clockwise) it shows in preview window.Apparently I have given distance relations in that order only.

I will explain this like this... Say I will give numbers to a rectangular face.

1 - right edge
2 - top edge
3 - left edge
4 - bottom edge

when you drag your feature on to this surface, the feature works only if you select 1 - first and 2 -second
or 2 - first and 3 -second
or 3 - first and 4 -second
or 4 - first and 1- second

It is not working if you select in counter clockwise direction.

But default Solidworks features are working in either way.
If you want, please check in SW design library, following this link.

Design Library-->Features-->inch-->fluid power ports-->saej1926-1

It would be great help if somebody kindly look at my model and suggest me where I made wrong.

I greatly appreciate your help and time.

Regards,
Pa1

Hi,by mistake, I made contradicting statements in my post.Let me clarify this.

Hole feature I made is working only if I select edges in counter clockwise direction.It is NOT working if I select edges in clockwise direction.
