Importing Drilling Operations.

[CycleTimeCharles]

I had trouble finding the importing drilling operations function. It has been moved! After you pick the hole locations in the drill toolpath, select Done, using the right mouse button where you select the tool select "Get Operations from Library" and pick the operation you want to import. When it asks to "Retain depth values of merged drill points?" select no if you want to use the depth from the operation library or yes to have the depth of the point selected as the drill depth. After the operation is imported you can just select Cancel as the toolpath is already calculated.

 

Looks like In-House has already spent the time to setup drilling libraries for the common hole types. A big time saver.
