Hole

Use the Hole command to add the following types of hole features in a part or assembly:

• Simple holes
• Counterbored or countersunk holes
• Tapered holes
• Drill size holes
• Screw clearance holes (simple, counterbored, or countersunk types)
• Threaded holes

Depending on the hole type, you can specify a custom size for a hole, or select the size and fit based on standard drill and screw clearance holes.

You can create a hole on planar or nonplanar faces, or through multiple solids as a single feature.

You can see a dynamic preview of the hole before specifying the location of the center of the holes.
