Hole Wizard Holes
FeatureWorks supports automatic and interactive recognition of these
Hole Wizard features:
Counterbore, Countersink,
and Tap (ANSI Metric standard
only)
Pipe tap (ISO standard only)
Generic
Hole (all standards)
All other
types of Hole Wizard holes are recognized as Hole Wizard Legacy
type holes.
To recognize Hole Wizard holes, FeatureWorks must be able
to reference the SolidWorks Toolbox’s swbrowser.mdb
file. For example, if you reference a shared toolbox on a network, you
must be connected to that network to be able to recognize Hole Wizard
holes using FeatureWorks.
Step-by-Step. FeatureWorks supports
step-by-step recognition of all standards and all types of Hole Wizard
holes contained in a model (not in an imported body).
Re-recognition. During the recognition process, you can re-recognize:
Hole and Legacy
Hole Wizard holes as cut revolves or cut extrudes and vice versa.
Counterbore Hole Wizard holes as cut
revolves and vice versa.
Countersink, Tap,
and Pipe Tap Hole Wizard holes
as cut revolves and vice versa.
FeatureWorks
cannot re-recognize legacy holes as Hole Wizard holes. You must select
Recognize hole as wizard holes
under Advanced Controls in the
FeatureWorks
Options dialog box to enable Hole Wizard hole recognition.
