Bolted Connection on Point

[B_Bevelander]

I can't seem to get Bolted Connection to work with the on point selection in my Assembly and the Tutorial provide doesnt cover this.

I tried to create a point sketc at part and sub-assembly level but neither get detected by the BC feature.

Any explanation would be greatly appriciated.

Hi!

Creating a hole:

To place a hole based in a sketch point, you use the  "BY SKETCH" option,

"On point" Refers to a "WORK POINT", not a sketch point.

Creating a bolt connection.

In The same way as the holes, the ON POINT option refers to a work point, not as sketch point.and (you dont even have that "by sketch" option in Bolt Connection).

How to do it:

Just create a work point in your assembly (or part or subassembly), and select it to be the center of your BC.

i am working with skeletik method.

I am creating a main Skecth file with proper configuration about frame, and holes to do.

When i put this sketch fil on a welding assembly, so i can use the skecth point with the bolted connection to insert my screws.

Only problem with it:

 as my sketch is used for severals assemblies, the holes select every point from the sketch includings the points that are not used with a specific assembly.

see the print screen, there is 2 differents conveyors there, with points on sketches for the hole i need and supporting frames

@srionde sounds like there are many points so not sure if this helps, but if you hold down Ctrl you should be able to deselect the points you don't want.
