trouble with entity masks

[Sbarner]

All,

 

I'm having trouble using the depth mask. I'm picking arcs around a bolt circle for drilling. I select entities in the drill dialog, then go to make my mask. I choose the "All" Mask as opposed to "Only". For parameters, I set "Arcs" under entities, and under "Miscellaneous", I choose diameter and depth. If I use the little arrow to go out and pick an arc, the diameter comes in OK, but the depth is always at 0. It should be at -.0075. The WCS and planes are both in Top. I've tried doing the "Ignore Depths" and "Plane Mask" but it doesn't work. This is X5. Thoughts?

Activate depth (without activating diameter), click on the arrow and go get your arc. It will get the right depth. Then activate diameter and go reselect your arc it will work. I guess it's a bug

If you only check 'Depth' and use the little arrow you must select a point and it will pick up the Z depth and then you can check the 'Diameter' option and back to the little arrow and click on an arc for the diameter.

...or...

Check 'em both and use the little arrow and click on the on an arc to match. That will get you the diameter.

Now right-click on the Depth field and select 'Z coordinate of a point' and then click on a point or the endpoint of one of the arcs and you'll get the Z depth of that into the field.

...or...

You could just use the the right-click method for both.

Yup. All those ideas worked. Thanks.
