Holes Wizard request

martin_santiago_scuncia

Hello everyone! I'm a new OnShape user. Im very excited with this innovative project!
Trying it with some designs, I note that no hole wizard have been developed. The lack of any automated tool for threaded/countersunk/counterbore standardized holes is a big obstacle to OneShape becoming my primary CAD soft.
I hope this feature will be incorporated soon!

Erm, have you tried the hole feature

Typing "hole" into the help yields this...

You'll see it does ANSI and Metric versions of what you're looking for.

Cheers, Owen S.

To add more detail to Owen's answer, Onshape's hole feature is located almost directly in the middle of the toolbar and fulfills exactly what you are looking for.

We are a different CAD system from where you are coming from and thus have tools, features, and workflows that are not exactly the same. With a little time to explore the product, you will discover what you are looking for

Can you comment on why the hole-making process requires 2 different tools - first placing point for the holes with one tool and then placing the holes with a second tool?  It's not a real complaint, more of a question of whether or not I'm missing a benefit to making holes this way.

@H_d_V  Thanks for the link - just voted it up.

Any chance of adding 1-32 UN 2A (external) and 2B (internal) aka "optical C Mount" threads or does Onshape believe thread pitches finer than 20 don't exist at that diameter? 

Also having trouble placing starting points on an inner diameter that was built from planar sketch extrusion, trying to generate a helix and a triangular cut path from scratch, but that's probably just newbiness.

@david_ralin - sounds like those threads are for a specific purpose/industry rather than standard threads? Please create an improvement request in the category on the right. 

Sounds like you are trying to create an internal thread? Create the helix, then create a plane using "curve point" then sketch on that. Note that, unless you are 3D printing, there is no need to model threads.
