A question was recently asked on the forums about creating hole tables from a flat sheet metal component. The trick, though, is that the component is a STEP file, or comes from other software such as Inventor or SolidWorks. I've previously documented a workflow for non-sheet metal parts here, which is much simpler. With Sheet... Continue Reading →
