    Simple Hole feature was added in SolidWorks 2004. Is there a Square
    hole feature?

    If not, anyone have a macro to do this?

    What about a library feature? Seems like a good way to handle that.

    You can use the Polygon tool on the Sketch toolbar. Am I missing
    something?

    That is an option, but I was wondering if they had a feature like the
    "Simple Hole" feature. I guess I could write a macro that will make a
    polygon with 4 sides, and make one side horizontal, then cut-extrude.

    Just throwing this question out there to see if anyone has something
    already...

    That is what library features are designed for. Create a square hole
    the standard way and then drag and drop it into your Design Library.
    Next time you need a square hole, drag and drop it from the Design
    Library onto your part.

    Or if you really want to, record it as a macro.
