create mounting holes?
I created a round case for holding a piezo transducer (see attached pic). I would like to create a round lid with a mount hole (ie.,tabs) on each side. The lid will fit into the case, using mounting holes for a nut and bolt.
Do i create a round part with another part?? for the mounting tabs?

Also mounts could also be square if it makes it easier to design.Shalmeneser wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 5:39 pm File / Full info / Drawing of your idea ?

Re: create mounting holes?
oooooh i see now, you don't attach mounting part to the edge but too the center of the lid. i overthink and get to complicated...Shalmeneser wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 6:14 pm 1) Full version info (follow link in red banner).
2) Do not sketch upon face : TNP

Re: create mounting holes?
you have intelligently placed the open face on the XY plane, so it is easier to place the sketch of the ear on this plane without risk of TNP

Re: create mounting holes?
Hi, still learning and great to learn by example. one more object i wanted to add to the case. I need to hole (rectangular) from the case in order to route wire from the case.
I tried using subtractive box? But doesn't extend through the case... Do i need to create a sketch for the box? No sure if I'm on the right thinking here.
thankx

Re: create mounting holes?
In your last file, you should not use the solid for support : TNP
Do you need a Hole feature or just a Pocket ?
I usually don't use Primitive from PartDesign but sketch instead.
