    Bolted Connection on a Machined Face

    Hi All.

     

    I have been working on a large assembly and I am trying to get a bolted connection to pass through a component and a machined plate.  I have been using the cocentric option to complete many other holes up to this point, but not through a machined surface.

     

    When I attempt this, I get two errors saying:

    Design Accelerator Doctor

    1. Failed to add sketch for a hole

    2. Failed to create a hole

     

    My questions are:

    Is there a way around this Or is this a problem that I am going to have to work around?

    Or

    Is there a better way to get a hole/bolt through this assembly?

     

    Thanks!

    I don't think it will be possible to answer this question without a dataset.

    Make up a simple example assembly and attach it here.
