Design Accelerator - "By Hole" Option

[bverboort]

I'd like to see an option for the "By Hole" placement method incorporated into all DA functions that support "By Hole" placement.

When I use "By Hole" placement and select an existing part hole feature, the existing part containing the referenced hole feature is not updated/modified as the connecting object diameter is changed

The logic of this current method is sound and I don't argue its validity (i.e. post assembly matching/reaming operations).

(Another suggestion I suppose... Have an option for the connection to automatically create an assembly feature to represent this)

However, there are times when I would like the existing part hole feature to update when a connecting component diameter changes to be either larger or smaller.

This optional function would edit the hole feature(s) in the impacted part file(s) themselves, enabling the ability of the part feature to be re-sized smaller or larger based upon the connecting part.

This option should function regardless of how the connection change in size is accomplished; both changes made manually by the user, or as a result of using one of the design calculation methods provided on the "Calculation" tab.

Best,

Brian
