coupling hexagon circle

[canebao]

hi to all I have just started using solidworks from self-taught and at the moment I got stuck on a stupid thing: I have sheet metal parts with hexagonal holes on which will be inserted in the future of the threaded rivets, but sicsome at the moment I do not have time to insert them I first need to try the encumbrances and coupling with other sheet metal parts with simple round holes on which will be inserted the screws.

how to couple in a hexagonal holes with cylindrical holes?
(a concentric mating would be perfect but it doesn't allow me to do)

thanks to anyone who wants to help me

Make an axis in the center of the hexagonal hole and put the concentric one. to make the axis visualize the hexagonal sketch, click the sheet face and the central point of the hexagon and then insert-> reference geometry-> axis

Excuse me but I understood the concept but not how to put it into practice: I don't find the 'insert' item and anyway selecting reference geometry-> axis is not highlighted the center of the hexagon but only each side.. the center of the hexagon I find it only if they select its cutting sketch in the feature manager ..but in this way I do not have the possibility to insert the axis ...
Where am I wrong?

from the fm select the sketch of the hexagon, then select the point.

on the "functions" tab click on referment geometry and axis selections.

in the graphic area select the face of the sheet and the point.

in the pm box you will see the 2 selected entities and the axis that appears to you as said re_solidworks.

Alternatively, you can show the sketch of the hexagon, which will have a circle that inscribes or circumscribes it.
just click dx on the part that contains it in the tree, get in edit part and you look for the sketch and then put "show".

so you can mate for concentricity the center of the circle in the sketch with the circular edge of the holes.:wink:

We must be careful, however, because the result would not be the same. by concentricizing the point you would put a bond that leaves more movement to the object.
In the end, you have to evaluate this couple with the others you gave.

is not clear at all....

use exhibition/hiding axis, then you can select the sketch point and plan to create an axis through the hexagon center

show hides serves to display existing axes, not to create an axis.

Good morning.
I take advantage of it and I press that I am new to solidworks and come from creo.
I have to do (I explain how I knew how to create it) a reference patter of a function linked to an extruded cut of which I made a pattern.
If you can make a patter that takes the references of the extruded cut patter?
I hope I've spent well.
thanks for an eventual answer.

I don't understand.

Thank you very much
