Inserting Through Holes
It is no longer necessary to insert a workpoint on the cylinder face,
dimension it, and insert a hole on the workpoint. Instead, the standard hole
function automatically defines a workpoint at the location you select,
dimensions it, and places the hole you specify. You can also define the inser-
tion point dynamically.
Using Cylinder Axial Placement
In this exercise, you insert a standard through hole using the cylinder axial
placement method. Use this method to insert holes parallel to the axis of a
cylinder. You enter specifications and select a size from a list of standard
holes, and the hole is inserted automatically.
