I can't seem to find anywhere in my programming manual for a set drilling cycle that doesn't use my live tooling. is it standard for drilling cycles to be entered in longhand? I've got a crapload of simple drill and turn parts for some standoffs and right now I'm having to recalculate all drill depths and add a whole lot of code. cheers to anyone who can save me some time.

 

Thanks,
