Simple Hole
Hole creates various types of hole features in the model. You place
a hole and set a depth on a planar face. You can specify its location
by dimensioning it afterwards.
Recommendations
In general, it is best to create holes near the end of the design process.
This helps you avoid inadvertently adding material inside an existing
hole. Also, if you are creating a simple hole which does not require additional
parameters, use Simple Hole. The second option, using Hole Wizard introduces
additional parameters that are not required with simple holes. Simple
Hole provides better performance than Hole Wizard for simple holes.
