Chapter 16: Modeling in Context
Note
Be careful with the plates labeled 5, 6, 7, and 8. There is a clearance gap between the sides of the 7 and 8
plates and the vertical plates 5 and 6. n
- Reorient the view to the Top view. Make sure you can see the Pin Layout sketch.
- Select the top face of Plate 1, and click on the Hole Series toolbar. The Hole Series
may be hidden under the Assembly Features flyout on the Assembly tab of the
CommandManager. The Hole Wizard no longer requires pre-selection to avoid 3D place-
ment sketches, but the Hole Series as of 2010 has not been updated to follow the same
rules as the Hole Wizard.
- Place two sketch points at the centers of the circles, as shown in Figure 16.25. Make
sure that the two points are both over the same plate 5 or 6. You cannot cut both plate 5
and 6 in the same Hole Series feature. Use the settings shown in Figure 16.25.

Place points for holes
Make sure the holes are Counterbored, ANSI Metric, Socket Head Cap Screw, M10, with
a head clearance of 0.10 inch. All other conditions should follow Figure 16.25.
- Place two more new holes on the other side. Make the parts transparent to see how the
holes have been placed.
- Initiate the Plane feature. Create a plane perpendicular to the Right plane and coin-
cident to the line from the Plate Depth Layout shown in the Right view in Figure
16.26. Rename the new plane Sprue Bushing Seat. (The new plane should show up right
underneath the initial three layout sketches.)
