different hole sizes in one sketch

[danpasholk]

Using the hole command in NX-6, how can I have different diameter holes produced on a single sketch surface. Example:
rectangular plate with 2 holes .5 dia. and 2 holes .75 dia. using one sketch plane.
Your help is most welcome

1) Create your single sketch with all 4 hole center points.
2) Create your 0.5 dia hole feature selecting 2 of the points <Apply>
3) Create your 0.75 dia hole feature selecting the other 2 points <OK>

Three features in your part navigator. I don't think you can have different hole types/sizes in a single hole feature is that is your intent.

1) create a block, no skecth
2) create 1 .5 dia hole, position to edges of block OR center planes
3) repeat for the .75 dia hole
4) cretae 2 instances for the offset locations of your holes from the originals

Instead of instancing the holes place with locations the second ones fromcenter or edge

Be creative and write expressions to keep the holes centered on the block so when the block chnages size, the holes move

NX is very versatile in allowing multiple ways to get the same results.

Remember that you can also Mirror the Points inside the Sketch, so avoiding duplicating Sketch Dimensions.
