How do you tapp multiple holes

[gargoyle27]

i have a few parts which have several (some as many as 16) tapped holes circularly arrayed around them, is there a better/faster way than just adding the threads individually?

Are you actually cutting threads or are you using threads in the hole wizard?

 

You can create your hole with threads(in hole wizard) then do an array of that. bada bing bada boom

the tool is called "circular pattern", you can probably use ctl-shft-o. then a box pops up, which is pretty self-explanatory. sometimes it's easier to select the feature to be arrayed by clicking in the model browser instead of the part itself.

I like to use center points for holes. You can array the points in your sketch then when you select the hole feature it will select all center points automatically.

seriously tho, wow, i feel kind of stupid now, i was sort of wondering what those pictures were at the bottom of the hole window, but didn't wonder enough to check

 

thanks
