Auto Drill question

[PE @ IHS]

Hi Folks

 

Could someone help me out? I am trying to find a way to use autodrill to select all circles on a part to output drilling ops. The only problem is that it is drilling ALL arcs, including fillets. I know that in solid drill you can differentiate between full and partial arcs, but what about in auto-drill?

 

thanks

It doesn't do that on my computer.

I went Auto-Drill, Entities, Windows and windowed the entire part (partial arcs included) It shows every entity is selected but only programs the full circles.

try select mask on arcs

Hi David

 

If I mask on arcs, auto drill will not drill all the holes, only those within the specified tolerance.

 

Glenn is correct. I didn't finish the entire procedure. Once I hit done, only the full arcs came in as programmed holes. Thanks for the reply, though.
