Create a screw clearance hole

This example shows how to create a counterbored screw clearance hole feature at the center of circular edge.

1. Choose Home tab → Base group → Hole.
2. From the type list, select Counterbored.
3. In the Form group, from the Hole Size list, select Screw Clearance.
4. Select Arc Center from Snap Options on the scene toolbar and then select a circular edge. NX displays a preview of the hole at the arc center of the circular edge.
5. In the Form group, select Screw Type, Screw Size, and Fit. For this example, we set the following:
   • Screw Type = Socket Head, 4762
   • Screw Size = M10
   • Fit = Normal (H13)
6. Click OK to create the screw clearance hole feature.

The Part Navigator displays the hole feature name, which indicates the hole size, screw type, and screw size: "M10 Socket Head, 4762 Screw Clearance Hole".
