Hi all,

I am new to SW. I am just starting to use smart fasteners inassemblies. When I
insert them I usually click on the clearance hole and the tappedhole so it will mate to the c'bore and have the correct threadinformation. This does not always work. Sometimes only the tappedhole is selectable which mates the bolt to the top of the threadedhole. Sometimes only the c'bore is selectable which results in abolt not using tapped hole properties. Patterened holes seem to addanother wrinkle to selectability of holes. Parent holes of patternsdon't always line up. What is the best approach to using thisefficiently without editing mates or screw properties? Is it wiseto pattern smart fasteners?

Thanks,
