Drilling around a cylinder

[cncfrank]

Hey all ! I'm using X3 and have a cylinder standing on end in a horizontal Mazak. I have to drill a series of holes around the perimeter of the cylinder. I know I can do it with the intergrex post I have, but it's not on the intergrex, so how would I do it to where it'll just post 1 G81, and after every rotation just drill another hole. Thanks !

5 axis drill will give you this output

if your post and machine def are set up properly

Also, I would draw it and use "Front View" for my Gview and Plane.

Seems to work better for horizontals.
