SW 2018 SP 5.0
I have an assembly with an assembly-level hole-wizard feature containing 20 holes (thru all). The feature is propagated to the desired parts (i.e. sealing face, gasket, etc.) including some parts that are cut by only 5 of the 20 holes.
However, when detailing the drawings of the parts that are cur by only 5 of the 20 assembly-level holes, the hole callout reports 20 holes instead of 5. It looks like it is either pulling the
Is there any way to have SW correctly provide the number of holes in the part instead of the parent assembly? As of now, I have to manually delete the
Since the first response will probably telling me not to use the assembly-level hole wizard and put the holes in each of the parts, I do not want to use multiple part-level hole patterns because:
- I was using part-level holes since the assembly-level cut extrude (and presumably assembly level hole wizard) no longer worked in SW 2016 (I would have to toggle "propagate feature to part" off and then on every time I opened the file and couldn't use it if I had more than one instance of a sheet-metal part in the assembly). But this involved going to each part and manually adding the hole-wizard feature and then making the points in the location sketch coincident with the points in the location sketch of the part that includes their dimensioned locations. I was having trouble getting the hole locations to automatically update in each part without editing the relevant sketch in each part. It looks like the assembly-level hole wizard for the most part works again.
- From a philosophical point of view, bolt holes in custom flanges are necessarily assembly-level features that are propagated to the parts
- Other features drive the mating of the parts, so I would be overdefining the assy with mates to the holes as well or I would have to dimension the hole locations relative to the features that are used in locating the part in the assy.
