Hole Feature Improvements

chris_sturgischris_sturgis Member Posts: 25 ✭✭
I'd like to see some improvements to the Hole Feature. As I have seen mentioned elsewhere it would be nice to expand the types of holes you can create with it (different threads and sizes) I think it could be combined with the new standard parts library so you can just select the bolt type you want to use and voila youre all set.

Additonally I would like more placement options. Currently you have to use a sketch point, more precisely you have to use a sketch point on the plane from which your hole begins. I would like to see the option to select a sketch point on any plane, then have a secondary selection to define the start plane and direction of the hole.

    I 100% agree!!! I'm coming from SolidWorks, where you're able to use a different plane to start the holes that then one that the sketch is located on. I tend to work from master sketches on the three primary planes, which is great in SolidWorks, but doing so in OnShape requires a lot of extra sketches utilitizing the 'use' command...

    Oh yes @chris_sturgis being able to start the hole on a different plane then the sketch point would be quite useful.
