General Design Use Cases

  • HowTo make holes through multiple bodies

Normally the Hole function only works within a single body, no matter what values are given for Dimension.

To make hole though muliple bodies you need to assing the hole function to each body seperately. The most important point is to make sure the holes stay aligned and are linked to each other. That means when the master part is moved all other holes move as well.

This can be done by making references of the sketches used for the holes in the master part. Just use the function "ShapeBinder" from the PartDesign Workbench. There is an example on the Reference page.
