Standardized Hole Sizes

Standardized Hole Sizes

Right now holes are pretty customizeable, but there is one big problem that I have, which is that there is no standardization. For example, if I wanted an 8 mm counterbored clearance hole in a part, I have to manually look up how oversize the hole should be and enter that information. What is missing is that all of these dimensions - clearance holes, counterbores, etc, are standardized! A much simpler workflow would be to select from the hole standard and then it would automatically generate a clearance hole for an 8 mm bolt, with options to counterbore said hole to the standards that it complies with.

As shown in this image, all of these dimensions are essentially freeform right now, so I either have to guess or look up counterbore dimensions.

 

 

This would make the usability of the hole tool much simpler and quicker - instead of looking up counterbore and clearance depths and diameters for a 10-32 or for whatever bolt I am using every time I need to make a hole, this feature would function just like the threads feature, which has all the standards listed as shown below. Then it is just a matter of assigning all the other parts of a hole to those standards, other than just the taps.

I'm very excited to share that the April 2018 update of Fusion 360 includes enhanced Hole command with the capability to create standard driven holes and threads.

2019 now and hole wizard is still fairly clumsy.

clearencess that you consider to be normal and loose I consider to be extra loose and extra extra loose can these be tightened up some what or do I have to just continue to over ride the values.

Imput of dimensions for reference values is abominal you type in your vale but if you dont type it in fast enough the last number entered is what you get. you have to be vidulant when entering these values to get what you want.

and if your doing a pcd on a flange for example you have to put a point sketch a point first becuase you can not use the center ref point to dimension where the hole is to be located becuse the hole snaps to the reference point.

I dont see that extended advance section on the Hole feature. I am using the Free Startup version. Is it only available on the paid version of Fusion 360?

@Anonymous This feature is available on all types of entitlements. Make sure to change the Hole Tap Type to "Clearance" to see the Fastener Standards.
