From here you can go into the Security tab to change the permissions. Navigate to the folder with Windows Explorer that is listed in the system options, right click it, then choose properties. At times no folder will be specified so you can create a new folder in a desired location and add it then (the example in the picture is placed on the desktop). The folder specified in this location is the one you need read/write access to for the Hole Wizard tool to function normally. You can then change the drop-down for the "Show Folders For" to "Hole Wizard Favorites Database."
SolutionĪccess the File Locations tab of the System Options by going into Tools -> Options -> File Locations.
SOLIDWORKS requires full permissions to this folder in order to store Hole Wizard data. This error is caused by the users permissions on the computer, or specifically the Hole Wizard Favorite's folder, not have high enough access to the folder to read/write to it. Special Thanks goes out to my co-worker Chris Harris for pointing this out to me.The purpose if this article is to go over the steps to correct the following error message when using the Hole Wizard tool: Here is the completed example part which shows how SolidWorks names the Hole Wizard Feature. Once you get the settings tweaked to your liking, I HIGHLY recommend you save it to your Hole Favorites so that you can reuse the settings again. In most cases you want this value to be 120 degrees. The only thing you’ll need to watch is that the default angle that comes up with the near side countersink option is 0 degrees. You also have the option to assign a near side countersink, which is recommended in most cases when you use Heli-Coils. You can set the “Size” to the thread size needed and the hole size is automatically set! You might still have to tweak the hole size a bit depending on your material, but if the material you are putting the Heli-Coil in is Aluminum, the size is correct. “Helicoil Tap Drills” is available in the “Type” pull down. If you set the Hole Type to “Hole” as shown in the image above. Helicoil Tap Drill sizes are available in the Hole Wizard inside of SolidWorks. For those of you that aren’t familar with Heli-Coil inserts, you can learn more about them HERE. As I have learned recently, they are used quite a bit in military and space hardware design. When you work in the commercial design world, you don’t often run across the need for the use of Heli-Coil inserts.
Here’s a GREAT SolidWorks Tip that was brought to my attention on the latest project I am working on.
