Chapter 17: Using Hole Wizard and Toolbox
- Make sure that you select the Place Fastener option on the final tab when you get
there, as well as the Create New Hole option. This workflow is different from previous
versions. Be aware also that Toolbox may delay several seconds as you initiate these
features.
- Make three sketch points and use construction geometry and dimensions to locate
the holes, as shown in Figure 17.25. The size and types of holes are determined in a
later step. (This is the reverse of the normal Hole Wizard, where you first determine the
type and size of hole, and then you establish the positions.)

The positions of holes in Step 9
- Click the Next button (the blue arrow pointing right) to move to the First Part hole
specification. Set it to a counterbored hole, for a #10 binding head screw, with a head
clearance of .025 inches, as shown in Figure 17.26 in the image to the left. Click the Next
button to advance to the Middle Parts hole sizing.
- In the Middle Parts PropertyManager, make sure that the Auto size based on start
hole option is selected, as shown the middle image in Figure 17.26. This creates a
normal fit clearance hole for the gasket part. Click Next to advance to the hole definition
for the Last Part.
- In the End Hole Specification panel, make sure that you select the Hole rather than
the Tap option, as well as the Auto size based on start hole option. This is shown to
the right in Figure 17.27.
- Proceed to the Smart Fasteners tab. Make sure the Place Fastener option is selected,
along with the Auto size option.
