Use of Advance Hole For Die Designing Process

SOLIDWORKS provides the Engineers with a Valuable development for mold

designing, with a feature called Advance Hole. This best feature is been brought as an

enhancement in the 2017 version of SOLIDWORKS for creating complex multi diameter holes.

Previously, many features were used in the design interface for making a Single callouts. The

designers had to define the exact callouts in Drawings for manufacturing operation.

The advance hole feature offers designers in customizing holes

within SOLIDWORKS while creating Manifolds & Holes.This feature allows the user to

define hole types with combination of counter bore ,countersink,straight and

tapered selections.

Designers can also indicate Advanced Hole Position using

dimensions, sketch tools, sketch snaps and inference lines. Also, the Advanced Hole

tool provides options to add, update, save, delete or load holes from the Favorites

toolbar.
