HOLE DEPTH SELECTION

[Farzati.Scott]

Is there a way that this can be added to make life simpler and without referring back to the print for manufacturing.  So here goes.  When selecting a hole it would be helpful if there were an option to select depth to full diameter of drill or to drill point.  It can be listed both ways depending on who drafted the blueprint.  This would allow the machining CAM process to select drill to the hole bottom every time.  It would be contingent on what was already selected on the design side.  Additionally if full diameter was chosen the drill point angle could be also factored into the equation.  This would also give the model a more accurate representation.  Currently if the hole is to drill point I have to calculate out the drill point or have to remember it is such when I go to CAM it up...

Thanks for considering,

uhm, it already does this. In the heights tab, enable Drill Tip Through Bottom in the Bottom Height

Yes, I realize that it is an option on the CAM side of things. However, we
are a job shop and drawing up 1000's of models from blueprint. Some ask
for drill point & others full diameter. I don't always get around to
CAM'ing them up right away. So then have to go find the print again. If I
could specify on the drawing to drill point or full diameter then once on
the CAM side of things I could tell it to select drill tip thru bottom
every time on all holes without referring back too the blueprint. Perhaps
if the draftsman would always follow the same practice it wouldn't pose a
problem. But due too different drill angles used they may need to be
specific...
