Detailing |
Multiple drilled and tapped hole tools share the same position on the tool set. Click and hold the mouse on the visible tool to open the Pop-out tools list and select the desired tool.
Both 2D and 3D drilled holes are available. The 3D drilled hole is a solid object that can be subtracted from any other solid object to create accurate 3D models of molds, dies, and many other machine parts (see Subtract solids).
To insert a drilled hole:
Click the tool and mode.
Click to place the object, and click again to set the rotation. The first time you use the tool in a file, a properties dialog box opens. Set the default parameters. The parameters can be edited later from the Object Info palette.
