Selecting mutiple holes

jordi_kox — Fri, 01 Dec 2023 13:23:15 GMT

Hi,

Im facing the issue that i have to enlarge multiple holes of the same diameter in the drawing environment, i know its possible to extrude or push pull the holes but that still means i have to select every hole one by one.

Is there a way to for instance target all holes of lets say 8mm to quickly select them all instead of clicking one by one?

Kind Regards,

Jordi

In the drawing environment (2D) or in the modeling environment (3D)?

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

There might be an easy way - but I would have to see the file.

Depending on how you created you multiple holes, there are a few ways to do this. Without your model, it is hard to say. In the video I mention three ways, the last one is by selection in the model.

hello,

unfortunately I am not allowed to share the document since its a company secret, I added another file as an example and my goal is to only select the holes of 8mm to rework (make bigger or smaller) since the original file is made by projecting the original STP part by using the project and extrude function I'm not quite sure if all the same rules apply in editing.

@jordi_kox

I would use Equal (=) constraints rather than duplicate dimensions.

A change in one changes all instances.

i see what you mean, but i was wondering if there was a function to target all holes of 8mm for instance because in the drawing i am working on there are 143 holes which needed to be extruded instead of clicking them one by one, select by size basically like is possible in the manufactory environment when you want to drill a hole.

I thought there was a Feature Recognition in direct mode, but now I can't find it (been years since I used direct mode).

Maybe someone else knows.
