Drilling Features

Anonymous — Tue, 28 Feb 2017 22:01:57 GMT

I am still using PM15 but this question I want to be related to PM17.

In PM15 if I select a feature to drill and in the selection window I set it to select by hole diam.

I then set it to min dia 3.0 and max dia 3.0. So to me that means a 3.0 diameter hole only.

I now tell it to drill hole to depth.

However there are no holes in the feature 3.0 diam. there are 4.0 dia and 2.5 dia holes

Given the above settings I would expect an uncalculated tool path as there are no 3.0 dia holes to drill.

To my surprise this is not the case. It actually drills all the holes in the feature ignoring the fact I asked for 3.0 diameter only.

So is it still the same in PM17 ? .

Yes, the same behavior in PM 2017 SP5.
