Hole feature in sheet metal part issue

[tonySWCR2]

Hello,

The hole feature is not remaining where I place it on a sheet metal component, any ideas?

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

Why do you have a Move in your Timeline before the Hole features?

What if you expand the Objects to Cut target body selection?

What if you click on the More Info?

Why use Extrude and Convert to Sheet Metal rather than model as sheet metal?

I have tried everything I can without actual file, and this is the only way that I can come close to reproducing issue.

No as it is part of an assembly that contains IP of the company. However, I can save as a new file and see if the behaviour still exists then upload that.

Why do you have a Move in your Timeline before the Hole features?

The component is currently in free space (in the assembly) so I am using the origin to maintain its location, hence the move. I could have created a plane at the offset I wanted and made the sketch there but the move body feature exists so I used it. I just suppressed it and the problem persists.

Precaution. To not show any company IP

The part was originally to be 3D printed, then it was required it was changed to metal so I just converted the part. 

Cheers,

Tony

What happens if you Flip the direction?

BTW, I would probably use Joints to locate components.

Just tried that and this is for sure a bug. If i flip it then it does intersect the part but its not right.

Things to note:

The hole is now going the wrong direction

The starting plane is not the one I specified OR any plane that exists in the model

It consistently changes my 7.5mm offset to 5.303mm and then moves the hole again when I exit the hole tool

I have joints constraining the origin to the main assembly origin, hence the move to put the part where I want it to hover in space.

I would modeled the part differently (starting from the sketch) and would not have encountered this issue - but this is interesting find.

Ping @jeff_strater

I just modelled it from sheet metal completely and the problem does not exist. There is an issue none the less, how does this get flagged to Fusion 360 developers?

I already pinged @jeff_strater , he must be out for doughnuts, let's try @Phil.E .

The problem seems isolated to either this part, or the hole command logic. I sent this to the sheet metal developers to have a look. It would help to know how common this is, so if you find the same result, using the same workflow (or one like it), please post again.
