Not that I am aware of. That area remains mainly as it was in SW2010.

Hi Rick,

Is there support for more complex hole types supported in SW2011?
Great tutorial!

Thanks,
Noel

I tried this technique but could not find the Sheet Metal Hole Pattern in the Design Library. I am pretty sure it is not there.

I am using SW 2010.

Great tutorial. I'm going to start using this method to create rolled stents. Conical stents too :).
Thanks!

I need to do just the oposite -
all my cut holes/slots dimensions are on the modeled cylinder located radially.
I then need to unfold the clyinder to get a flat pattern.
No longer have round holes etc. - is there a way without starting in the flat?

Irene,

You could easily create the pattern shown at the link you posted by creating a fill pattern of the hole, or by creating one of the spokes in a hole feature and then doing a circular pattern.

I am trying to cut multiple holes on a curved surface, perforated for ventilation in Solidworks. I do not want random holes. How do I create perforated holes that align straight on each angle. An example of what I'm trying to achieve is the MUJI Cd player

Help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Irene
