2.46. -After setting the options for the "Hole Wizard," the second step is to define

its location. When we select the "Positions" tab, SOLIDWORKS asks us to select

a flat face to locate the hole( s) or optionally press the "3D Sketch" button to add

holes in multiple faces. For our example we'll add a single hole in the round face

at the front of the part.

Immediately after selecting the face, SOLIDWORKS activates the "Sketch

Point" tool, ready for us to define the hole's location. Anywhere we add a sketch

point, the Hole Wizard will add a hole. For this exercise we only need to make one,

and to locate it we'll use regular sketch tools including dimensions and geometric

relations; notice that we are working in a Sketch. Our intent is to locate the hole in

the middle of the flat face's width; to locate it, we will first draw a "Centerline."

Select the "Centerline" command from the drop-down menu in the "Line"

command, and start drawing it from the right quadrant of the outer circular edge,

and finish it in the same quadrant of the inner circular edge (or vice versa.) The

quadrants are automatically displayed as we approach them with a drawing tool

active. Press the Esc key once or turn the Centerline command OFF when

finished.
