CAM 2D Bore needs "Select Same Diameter" option like Drill
99% of my work is acrylic sheet routing, rarely changing tools. If I have an array of 34 .25" holes to bore/pocket with a 4mm or 6mm tool, I have to select each face/hole at a time. The Geometry "Select Same Diameter" option in the Drill function would be fantastic in the Bore options. Emphasis on Fantastic.
After using the Drill function and having to re-cut a part not realizing the Diameter has to be defined each time, I must take my previous position in a request for a "Select Same Diameter" command in the 2D Bore function. And/Or have the Drill/Bore diameter auto define as the same as the hole/face selected.
If I'm doing an array of holes that will be tapped manually, remembering what I set the pilot hole diameter at in the design will cost time. If the part is somewhat complex and I'm designing in the the tolerances for a press fit.... I want to design it and forget it.
If I'm making rookie mistakes, and there's a better way to approach this.....

Yes it does seem like the Mill Bore in drill op is half finished! The only tip I have for now is if you use the measure tool, select the hole edge and double click the diameter number on the measure dialog the size is copied to the clip board.
It seems both the 2D Bore and Drill could swap and share some features. 2D Bore has features and tool path options I like that are similar in concept to other 2D CAM functions, my eyes quickly go to certain key parameters that must be double checked before post processing.
The Measures Copy to Clipboard tip is useful for a number of things
Neither the Bore Milling or Circular pocket milling options drill the correct size hole from your model. I wasted some stock finding this out the hard way . . .
If using the Bore Milling within ‘Drill’ options, the diameter must be set manually. 2D Bore automatically mills the hole as designed. Expanded 2D Bore functionality would be much appreciated.
