This Addin automates the task of projecting holes between parts, to create perfectly aligned holes in assembly. The resulting holes are created as adaptive hole features on part level.

This add-in automates the task of projecting hole geometry from one part to another to ensure they fit in an assembly. The add-in allows you to pick hole geometry from one component, whether round holes or slots, and use their positions to create new holes in a different component in the assembly. There is no need to edit parts in assembly and project hole positions into a sketch anymore! All holes created with the add-in will be adaptive and update according to the repositioning of components within the assembly. This add-in creates holes at the part level.

  • You can box-select multiple holes from multiple parts at once.
  • If multiple holes with different diameters are created, the add-in will group all holes with the same diameter into the same hole feature in your part.
  • The creation of holes is done with a single transaction, making it easy to undo and redo.
  • The add-in will use your document's units of measure, and the input boxes can handle expressions.
  • A simple preview of the holes you're about to create is available to review before you execute the command.
  • The user interface is displayed in a dockable window and adapts to dark/light color themes.
