Hi all,
I have a file that because of the way it was modeled the hole patterns are patterned so adding a fastener to a set of holes SW does not recognize them as something you can driven from a pattern, my work around was to add a sketch in the assembly and use that to drive my fastener locations only issues seems to be when I close the file and go back in it errors out until I open each configuration Sketch I created to drive the locations.
Is there something I am not doing correctly, as trying not to add a set of fasteners to each hole if I don't have to.
Version 2020 sp 5.0
Regards,
Jim

Try adding a rebuild save/mark to each configuration
(Solidworks is loading a huge assembly right now, so I can't give you a snapshot of what I mean, but if you RMB on your configuration you can select "add rebuild/save mark" or something similar)
This may help.
What this does is stores the configuration data in the file (making the file size larger) rather than requiring a rebuild when you switch configurations.

Hi again,
I figured it out and seems to work
this is Afterwords but just right click on the configurations and you will see it
Thanks again,
Jim
