How to get the screw holes for through-fastening between lock tenons?

Post by Gene Davis »

I can generate pocket holes between lock tenons, but how to do those for through-screws. See the pic from a cab I got from a production share shop.

Is this all manually done and then set up for seed cab sizing using constraints? Seems tedious if that is the only way.

I have a kD hole pattern that I use for this. I modified an existing kd pattern by removing the cam hole and changing the pinhole to the depth and diamenter for the through-hole.
