gbradley Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I want to place a threaded hole on the face of a circular piece. How do I constrain the hole in the X direction? I have a flat, so I can constrain the hole in the Y direction, but I was hoping that I could pick the origin to constrain the hole in the X direction, but I am having a little trouble. Any advice?

gbradley Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 I figured out a way of doing this. I created a sketch on the face and then put a point on the sketch. I was able to dimension the hole to the point. At first I was trying to make the holes without the sketch step, and it wasn't working on a circular part. I think I can do it on a rectangular part though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 depending on how your inital part was drawn you can use linear dimensions from the default origin. This would work great if your part was drawn around this point. As you found out you can also create a sketch. You could have drawn circles in the sketch and i believe on the drop down box where it says Linear you can use concentric rather than on point.

Safwah Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Yes project the centre point (assuming you start ur model from the centre point). Then u can project lines u need or just dimension from the centre point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
