Tip:
You can set hole parameters after placing the hole circles. The displayed hole circles update automatically.
All holes created within one instance of the command will share the same attributes. For holes with different parameters, construct another hole feature.
When constructing threaded holes, the thread values available on the Hole Options dialog box are based on the hole size. You can only specify threaded holes if the hole size matches a value specified in the Holes.txt file located in the Solid Edge/Program folder.
If you delete a threaded hole entry in the Holes.txt file, when you edit a hole feature that used that entry, an asterisk is placed on the thread value listed on the Hole Options dialog box.
