Parameters

GenericHoleType

Type of hole or slot as defined in swWzdGeneralHoleTypes_e

StandardIndex

Hole or slot standard property as defined in swWzdHoleStandards_e (See Remarks about legacy holes)

FastenerTypeIndex

Hole or slot fastener type as defined in swWzdHoleStandardFastenerTypes_e (see Remarks)

SSize

Size of the hole or slot (see Remarks)

EndType

Hole or slot end type as defined in swEndConditions_e (see Remarks)

Diameter

Diameter of the hole or slot

Depth

Depth of the hole or slot

Length

Length of slot; valid only when GenericHoleType set to:

• swWzdGeneralHoleTypes_e.swWzdCounterBoreSlot
• swWzdGeneralHoleTypes_e.swWzdCounterSinkSlot
• swWzdGeneralHoleTypes_e.swWzdHoleSlot

For tapered tap holes, the macro recorder fails to record this parameter. Before running a macro recording, you must add -1 at this position and delete a -1 before ThreadClass.

Value1

Hole or slot parameter

Value2

Hole or slot parameter

Value3

Hole or slot parameter

Value4

Hole or slot parameter

Value5

Hole or slot parameter

Value6

Hole or slot parameter

Value7

Hole or slot parameter

Value8

Hole or slot parameter

Value9

Hole or slot parameter

Value10

Hole or slot parameter

Value11

Hole or slot parameter

Value12

Hole or slot parameter

ThreadClass

One of the following thread classes:

• 1B

• 2B

• 3B

NOTE: Applies to ANSI inch standard only.

RevDir

True to reverse the direction of the hole or slot, false to not

FeatureScope

True if the feature only affects selected bodies, false if the feature affects all bodies

AutoSelect

True to automatically select all bodies and have the feature affect those bodies, false to select the bodies the feature affects

AssemblyFeatureScope

True if the assembly feature only affects selected components in the assembly, false if the assembly feature affects all components in the assembly

AutoSelectComponents

True to automatically select all affected components, false to only use the selected components

PropagateFeatureToParts

True to propagate the assembly feature to the components that the assembly feature affects in the model, false to not

Return Value

To create simple holes and slots, read Hole Wizard Features and WizardHoleFeatureData2 Objects. To create Advanced Holes of stacked hole elements, use IFeatureManager::AdvancedHole.

Valid types of slots are counterbore, countersink, or straight.

To add a hole or slot at one or more locations, call IModelDocExtension::SelectByRay with Mark = 0 for each location.

Before creating a hole or slot using a reference plane and this method, determine the value of the RevDir parameter as follows:

• If the material is on one side of the reference plane, then RevDir is false.
• If the material is on both sides of the reference plane, then compare the distances between the reference plane and the material on both sides. If the distance between the reference plane and the material along its normal direction is bigger, then RevDir is true; otherwise, RevDir is false.

You can also use IModelDoc2::RayIntersections and IModelDoc2::GetRayIntersectionsPoints to find out if the material is on one side or both sides and to compare the distances.

Parameters for this method:

• The FastenerTypeIndex parameter has to match the standard and be valid for that hole or slot type, or an error occurs.

• The SSize parameter must be a valid size for the fastener type, or an error occurs.

• If EndType is 10 = swEndCondUpToSelection (supersedes swEndCondUpToSurface and swEndCondUpToVertex), then you must use IModelDocExtension::SelectByID2 with Mark = 1 to pre-select the surface or vertex.
• Screw fit is defined as swWzdHoleScrewClearanceTypes_e and is only used if a hole or slot diameter is not specified; default value is NORMAL_FIT.
• Drill angle defaults to 118 degrees (2.05948851735331 radians), if not specified.
• Input angles are in radians; input values are in meters.

• The Value1 through Value12 parameters are different for each type of hole or slot. The possible values are as follows, organized by hole and slot type. SOLIDWORKS ignores parameters set to -1.

Counterbore Holes and Slots

Head Clearance - Added to either the input counterbore depth or the counterbore depth in the standard.

Parameters for all counterbore holes and counterbore slots:

1. CounterBore Diameter
2. CounterBore Depth
3. Head Clearance
4. Screw Fit
5. Drill Angle at Bottom (valid only if EndType is *not* swEndCondUpToNext or swEndCondThroughAll)
6. Near Csink Diameter
7. Near Csink Angle
8. Underhead Csink Diameter
9. Underhead Csink Angle
10. Far Csink Diameter
11. Far Csink Angle
12. Offset (valid only if EndType is swEndCondOffsetFromSurface)

Countersink Holes and Slots

Head Clearance Type - Value from swWzdHoleCounterSinkHeadClearanceTypes_e, which represents how to add the head clearance values to the hole or slot.

Parameters for all countersink holes and countersink slots:

1. Near Csink Diameter
2. Near Csink Angle

4. Screw Fit
5. Drill Angle at Bottom (valid only if EndType is *not* swEndCondUpToNext or swEndCondThroughAll)

Pipe/Straight Tap Holes

Tap Thread Depth - If the user specifies thread depth, SOLIDWORKS always uses this depth. Tap thread depths can be calculated:

• Helicoil holes: calculated based on a constant (determined by hole type; i.e., insert = 1.0 * diameter) + thread depth from the standard * thread major diameter.

• Tapped holes: calculated based on 2 * thread diameter.

Cosmetic Thread Type - Value from swWzdHoleCosmeticThreadTypes_e; defaults to swCosmeticThreadNone

Near Countersink Angle - Can be calculated from standard data as a default

Hcoil Tap Type - Value from swWzdHoleHcoilTapTypes_e; defaults to swTapTypePlug

Thread End Condition - Value from swWzdHoleThreadEndCondition_e; defaults to swEndThreadTypeBLIND

Parameters for all pipe/straight tap holes:

1. Tap Thread Depth
2. Near Csink Diameter
3. Near Csink Angle
4. Far Csink Diameter
5. Far Csink Angle
6. Drill Angle at Bottom (valid only if EndType is *not* swEndCondUpToNext or swEndCondThroughAll)
7. Cosmetic Thread Type
8. Thread End Condition (not valid if StandardIndex is swStandardHelicoilInch or swStandardHelicoilMetric)
9. Helicoil Tap Type (valid only if StandardIndex is swStandardHelicoilInch or swStandardHelicoilMetric)
