Custom Feature: Amalgam Tag and Amalgamate

    @EvanReese The Not-Hole workflow is very cool. However, thread info from a tapped hole is not propagating through to Sheet Metal target parts using the Amalgamated Not-Hole method (but the native Hole feature does apply threads to sheet metal parts). Is this something that can be fixed? Or might we be doing something wrong?

    Thanks again you guys for the amazing work and service to this community!

    Thanks for trying it out, Romeo. The native hole feature does this through a totally different logic pathway than opBoolean. To get this working the change would have to be on the Amalgamate side by looking for things with hole attributes and sending those down a different hole creation pipeline, which sounds like a slog but doable.

    I get ya. Think on it though. I know I can configure a delete body or not making the union body at all, but I have a feeling that I'll be doing that on every single setup I ever make. I'd prefer to only have to do that on setups that have various union bodies (i.e. one for injection molded parts, and another for a CNC part). Either way, respect for thinking it through and being mindful of scope creep and second order effects.
