How to split holes in drilling method

I have this drilling method that drills every hole in the active hole feature set and then splits them by their diameter but it won't work for these 2 hole diameters, One is a counterbore hole the other isn't, any idea how I can split them in the drilling method?

I've always just specified the diameter and which component to select to get around this. I would add a filter to select the last component to determine the hole diameter. I set a range to account for holes being off by a tenth or two usually. This can be a pain to set up at first since you have to define each hole diameter, but once you got it dialed in it's great.

Thank Sean,

 

That's an option but going through every hole combination will take me forever and surely I will forget one. I want the drilling method to produce all the holes in one shot as I have in the folder.

 

I think it would be faster if there were an option for a hole exclusion to put in the first process and then add it to the second process that would be a lot faster.
