Creating Holes
This video provides an overview of the Hole feature in Fusion 360, focusing on two main workflows for creating holes: using the dedicated Hole command with references, and using a Sketch with points [00:02, 02:33]. The tutorial demonstrates how to use the Hole command's built-in reference feature to create a concentric hole on a cylindrical face or fillet and how to create stepped holes (like a counterbore) by combining multiple concentric hole features [00:39, 01:41]. The preferred method is shown to be starting a sketch and using points or a line's endpoints to precisely position one or more holes [02:33, 02:49]. Finally, the video covers the Clearance Hole option, which automatically determines the hole diameter based on the selected fastener type, size, and fit (close, normal, or loose) [04:08].
