Sometimes this select same hole size check box can be more of a PITA than a good thing. Can the option be changed to "select same hole size and length"?
This allows for different hole groups to be selected instead of all holes the same size to be grouped together. You might have a part with 3/8-16 tapped holes with some tapping thru and the others are blind tapped to a depth. With the current system you are forced to select the holes individually to get the different groups for your operation. This is OK for small amount of holes, but do a couple hundred and tell me how slick "select same hole size" works for you.
On another note could this "select hole same size function" be implemented in another way for creating patterns for sub-program support? Kinda like the create profile function or spun feature for the turning side. It would create a parametric sketch that a sup-program could use for hole patterns that don't fit into the HSMworks pattern function.
