Hole Wizard Type PropertyManager
The Hole Wizard PropertyManager appears when you create a new Hole Wizard hole. Two tabs appear:
-
Type (default). Sets the hole type parameters.
-
Positions. Locates the Hole Wizard holes on planar or nonplanar faces. Use dimensions, sketch tools, sketch snaps, and inference lines to position the hole centers.
You can switch between these tabs. For example, select the Positions tab and locate the holes, then select the Type tab and define the hole type, then select the Positions tab again to add more holes.
