Do you use Simple Hole feature?

  • Never. We always use HoleWizard feature to create even a Simple Hole

I created a simple hole on a face of a block. I then created a dimension from an edge of the face to the center of the simple hole.

But the dimensions does not show in the Equation Manager.

Is this normal behavior? I am not a regular user of SolidWorks, so am I missing something?

Also, do you use simple hole feature or you just use Hole Wizard to create even a simple hole? Just curious to know!

Thanks in advance for your responses.

I use Hole Wizard for typical standard size holes, mostly for fastening hardware. And cut extrude holes for everything else. I never use the simple hole…seems like there were limitations at one time…maybe no longer though.
