Beginner's Guide to SOLIDWORKS 2019- Level I

2.45. -For the next feature we'll add a %"-20 tapped hole in the front face of the

'Housing'. SOLIDWORKS provides us with a tool to automate the creation of

simple, Countersunk and Counterbore holes, slots, tap, Pipe taps and more by

simply selecting a fastener size, depth, and location. The "Hole Wizard" command

is a two-step process: in the first step we define the hole's type and size, and in

the second step we define the location of the hole(s). The Hole Wizard is a special

type of feature that uses 2 sketches that are automatically created, so there is no

need to add a sketch first; in fact, it works very much like an applied feature.

Change to a Front View for clarity and select the "Hole Wizard" icon from

the Features tab in the Command Manager. The first thing we'll do is to define the

hole's type and size. Select the "Tap" icon for

"Hole Type," "ANSI Inch" in the Standard drop View Insert Tools Window Help Jt

down menu, "Tapped Hole" for the Screw

type, and "%-20" for size. Change the "End ~~
