Variable Through Holes (3-D)

3-D Standard > Standard Processings > Bore.

You do not insert variable through holes via the catalogue system for standard parts and standard processings, but you can insert them in any sizes by specifying the required dimensions like diameter, bore depth or countersink angle.

The following functions are available in the menu:

	Through hole, variable
	Slot
	Blind hole
	Punch mark
	Rectangle
	Bore pattern
	Lettering
	Powder marking lines
	Settings

Please note:

• Once you have called the function, the Settings dialogue window for bores is displayed (if the Suppress window checkbox has not been activated). Specify the desired settings and choose OK to exit the window. Then define the processing plane, if required.
• The bore can be inserted individually or multiply on a linear, polar or radial grid. For this, the Grid menu is displayed.
• Before specifying the fitting position, you can use the right mouse button to activate a context menu. The functions of this menu enable you to change the fitting direction or the reference point of the standard part.
• With the exception of bore patterns, the other functions allow you to fit further copies after inserting a bore.

Through hole

3-D Standard > Standard Processings > Bore

1. Specify the diameter of the bore and choose OK to exit the dialogue window.
2. Choose the desired fitting type in the Grid toolbar - individual or multiple on a linear, polar or radial grid - , and, if required, enter the desired values.
3. Specify the fitting position in the drawing. Position further copies of the bore, if required and available.

Through Hole

 

Linearly arranged through holes

Blind hole

3-D Standard > Standard Processings > Bore > Blind hole

1. Enter the diameter, the bore depth and the point angle. You can influence the bore depth via the Bore depth = Drill bit checkbox. If the checkbox is activated, the depth of the bore will be the bit of the drill.
2. Click OK to exit the dialogue window.
3. Choose the desired insertion type in the Grid toolbar - individual or multiple on a linear, polar or radial grid - and, if required, enter the desired values.
4. Specify the insertion position in the drawing. Position further copies of the bore, if required and available.

Example of a blind hole

Blind hole, (1) Diameter, (2) Bore depth, (3) Point angle

Example with Bore depth = Drill bit

Slot

3-D Standard > Standard Processings > Bore > Slot

1. Specify the fitting point.
2. Choose the fitting direction. Note that the Pitch circle option is only relevant if you intend to insert several slots on a polar grid. In this case, the aperture angle determines the length of the (curved) slot on the circle.
3. Enter the diameter, the bore width and, if required, the angle of rotation, and click OK to exit the dialogue window. (if the Pitch circle option is active, enter the bore width and the aperture angle.)
4. If required, specify the depth of the bore or activate the Through checkbox .
5. Choose the desired fitting type in the Grid toolbar - individual or multiple on a linear, polar or radial grid - and, if required, enter the desired values.
6. Specify the fitting position in the drawing. The slot is inserted so that this point lies in the fitting position. Position further copies of the bore, if required and available.

Slot

(1) - (3) Fitting point options (start, centric, end), (4) Rotated slot, (5) Slots on a polar grid

You can also create slots inserted on a circle or pitch circle by specifying the arc length - instead of the aperture angle.

Rectangle

3-D Standard > Standard Processings > Bore >Rectangle

1. Enter the Length, Width and, if desired, the Rotation angle. If you want to fillet the corners of the rectangle, also enter the fillet radius.
2. If desired, specify the depth of the bore, or activate the Through checkbox. .
3. Exit the dialogue window with OK.
4. Choose the desired fitting type in the Grid toolbar - individual or multiple on a linear, polar or radial grid - and, if required, enter the desired values.
5. Specify the fitting position in the drawing. Position further copies of the bore, if required and available.

Punch mark

3-D Standard > Standard Processings > Bore > Punch mark

Use this function to place individual or multiple punch marks arranged on a linear or polar grid. Punch marks are used, for example, to identify subsequent bores.
