Multi Axis Drilling

[killall-9]

Hello attached is a photo of 5 AXIS drilling. I wonder if the depth of the hole operation can realize the new depths per hole. obviously it realized all the holes with a CTL+ Dbl click, but can it realize the changing depths as well ?

 

In the included photo none of the hole are thru holes, but yet they are the same depth from the surface start point.

i added a hole that is shallower than the rest and it worked correctly

This is where the circles with lines comes in handy I believe. Use hole axis and get yourself a line

You can change the parameters at each point within the geometry selections in the drill toolpaths.

I wasn't able to pick up the bottom of the hole i had to measure it and manually put in the inc depth.

Im not sure how you did this. I was able to get the correct depth, but its the same depth for all holes.

i just ctrl clicked the wall of the holes, not the edges but the wall

and it picks all the holes with the same dia

This process has been greatly improved upon and on an example part like that shows the advancement of this functionality.
