Holes 3 Basic Types Drilled - Straight Cylinder Counterbore - Two cylinders, one on top of the other. Used to receive a bolt head. Countersink - A cone on top of a cylinder. Used to accept a flat head bolt/screw.

Hole Types Hole Counterbore - receives a bolt head Countersink - receives a flat head screw or bolt

Hole Feature Placement A hole feature requires a hole center point sketched on an existing feature. You can also select endpoints or center points on existing geometry as hole centers.

Threaded Holes Threads can be added to holes for bolts or screws. There are several types of threads series. Each is identified by their: Major Diameter Threads Per Inch Thread Series Identification Ex. 9/16 - 12 UNC This represents a thread with a major diameter of 9/16”, 12 threads per inch and is a standard Unified National Course thread.
