Part III: Working with Assemblies
Cross-Reference
Smart Fasteners, Toolbox, and the Hole Wizard are discussed in detail in Chapter 17. This is the only
functionality beyond what is found in SolidWorks Standard edition that I deal with in this book. n
Hole Series
The Hole Series is a Hole Wizard–type feature that you apply in an assembly. This wizard leaves
the feature icon in the assembly, but also adds features directly to the individual parts. It also adds
in-context Update Holders to the assembly FeatureManager, as shown in Figure 12.4. The Series
Hole is designed to go through a series of parts, placing the appropriate hole type in each part,
counterbore, through, threaded, and so on.FIGURE 12.4Adding in-context Update Holders
