Holes, Patterns, Chamfers, Fillets

Holes, patterns, chamfers, and fillets are common design features that can be added in CAD. Holes come in types like simple, counterbored, and countersunk and require selecting a face and sketching a point to specify the hole location and diameter. Patterns use features like linear and circular patterns to duplicate a feature in a line or circle by specifying a count, pitch distance or angle, and axis. Chamfers and fillets modify edges by entering a length or radius value to cut off edges.

2. Specify Vector, a blue triad will appear, need to choose axis that is perpendicular to face on
which pattern will be created
3. Specify Point, clicking to select point that will be center of the pattern
4. Specify a Count and Pitch Angle for the pattern
5. Click OK to finish
