Drilling Holes in Multiple Overlapping Parts Simultaneously
This section explains how to drill holes in multiple parts at the same time.
It improves modeling efficiency and reduces hole misalignment.
Procedure: Example with a Cylindrical Hole
[1] Drag and drop [Cut Cylinder] from the [Shape] catalog onto the part using right-click.
[2] Select [Drop as Assembly Feature].
[3] Choose [All assemblies/parts under the selected level], then click [OK].
[4] In the scene browser, select the "H Cylinder" under the created [AF group*].
[5] Right-click on the [H Cylinder].
[6] Select [Create Part Feature]. This will replicate the hole in each part.
[7] Delete the now unnecessary "H Cylinder" in the AF group.
[8] In the add-on properties of each part's hole, enable the threading settings.
