This procedure describes adding hole favorites. The process is the same for managing hardware favorites.
-
To open the Toolbox - Holes
dialog box, click Holes
(Mechanical
Toolbox toolbar).
-
In the dialog box, on the left, select a hole category.
-
On the right, select the Standard, Type, and
Size.
- Optional:
Set
the Scale to display the part in the
drawing.
-
Under Description, for
Creation Method, select the component
view.
-
Expand Properties and
select physical properties of the hole.
The hole category you selected in step 2 determines the
property options.
-
To chose whether to insert the hole as a block and to change
layer preferences, click Settings.
The
Toolbox - Settings dialog box opens
to the appropriate
Holes screen for the type of hole you
are inserting.
Make settings changes as needed and click
OK.
-
On the right side of the dialog box, click Add to Favorites
.
-
In the Toolbox - Add to
Favorites dialog box, do one of the following:
- For Name, type a
name and click OK.
- Click OK to use
the name that Toolbox provides.
Each favorite must have a unique name.
For example, to save two favorites for the #0-80 Button Head Cap Screw
that use a Simplified, and Detailed thread display, you could name them
Simplified-#0-80 Button Head Cap
Screw and Detailed-#0-80
Button Head Cap Screw.
The software adds the new favorite to the end of the Favorites list for its category.
