I have an assembly made of various parts. I need to put holes that line through with each other. The first hole needs to 5mm diameter, the second hole behind it needs to be 11mm diameter. I have tried using the hole series but cant get it to work ( maybe as Im only going through 2 parts?) I could create multiple sketches and do multiple holes and manually line them up but is there a smarter way to do it using the assembly features. Please see attached pictures of what im trying to achieve
Thanks,

Re: How to have holes of different sizes though each part of an assembly
I'd keep it simple, and edit the Parts inside the Assembly, so you'd use Part features (probably Extruded Cut or Hole Wizard) instead of Assembly features. You could use external references to align the holes.

Re: How to have holes of different sizes though each part of an assembly
There's a bunch of ways to accomplish what you want, it all depends on what you require.
You could
-Create holes in each part and align them manually
-Create hole in one part and the other hole in the other part with an external reference to the first part so that if the hole moves it updates.
-Create the holes in your assembly by piercing 5MM through both and 11MM only through the first part.
