Hole axes from thickened quilt

Hello,
I am attempting to create three holes in the thickened version of a quilt. The most reliable method I have found is by trimming the quilt as shown below however this results in no hole axis being formed making subsequent work on it harder.

I was having difficulty created holes using the hole tool because of the rounded geometry and the breaks in the surface.

What would be a reliable way to

a) Get hole axes when creating objects this way (ie thickening trimmed quilts)?

b) Place holes on a surface such as this? 

 

The quilt is made by wrapping a sketch on cylinder on creo paramteric 9.0 student version.

Hi,

probably you created geometry which is not cylindrical. In my test model I was successful. See video.

Does the hole axis need to be through the vertical axis of the wrap?

 

Could you create a plane offset just outside (or inside) of the quilt and extrude your hole from that?

 

Repeat this for the other two holes?

I am not sure I follow, I understand the axes would look like this, creating planes would be quite hard would it not? I am somewhat new to creo, I would appreciate it if you could maybe break it down further?

Here is a video for creating a hole on a cylinder. You can choose your own references to place a point on the cylinder to match your design intent. This is just an example of how to do it. Note that the axis is included when the hole is created. The hole axis is normal to the cylinder surface.

 

You need to be aware that Creo splits cylinders in half, if a feature straddles or moves across the split then this can cause regeneration issues.

    Hi,

    you can create hole on cylindrical surface.

    51.96 is distance from top plane surface.

      Thanks for attaching the files, but since you are on a student version of the software. Most of us on this board cannot open your files.
