drilling holes, any ideas?

Post by Jonathan Lester »

Hello
The company I work for is putting together a manual for assembly so that whn new guys start they wont have to remember all the specific measurements right away hopefully reducing some of the stress to provide a better work environment. So my question is we want to have pictures of gables and other parts and on the picture we want to show when construction holes would be. I know how to do this for hardware holes but can not figure out how to do it for construction holes. Any help would be great.

By construction holes, do you mean dowel construction?

We use dowel construction on all of our cabinets. I place the holes in part editor, then go into the constraints manager and add the location dimensions. You can always print this screen (I take a screen capture into photoshop and print it from there). You can also take your cabinet into the line drawing editor, hide all the other parts and add your dimensions there.

Hope this helps
