creating arcs

Hello everyone,

 

I am on version X8 (wire EDM) and need to wire a lot of holes in a mold cavity. The way I am doing it now is I have created wire thread points for a series of holes on a level by themselves. Then I create another set of thread points on a different level that will have a different diameter.....so forth and so on. In all its close to 100 holes of 4 different diameters, each diameter is on a level by itself. Now that I have all my thread points created, I turn off all but one level: create arc-circle center point-select my thread point and give it a diameter.

 

Is there a way to select all the points on that level and give a diameter and create arcs  with just a few keystrokes rather than selecting each individual point?

 

Thanks guys for your help!

Pts2Arcs is not part of the std. install.

~~~~~~~~~~~~`

My fault ,Roger .

I always download all the c-hooks at the istall time

BTW why this is still a c-hook and not a command of standart install.

I use it all the time.

Move it to the standart set and you will see how people would like to use it.

Same for  the Arcmultiedit.dll c-hook .

 

Best regards

Hey Rickster, what is "Thee Circle"?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Thee circle was a a movement in the days of the big flame war  on the Forum .

That was a time when I became without brains kinda idiot  for the  same  reason .

It was a protest for  the  lack of justice in some of decisions of former moderators ,

So you can consider Thee   Circle as  Tea Circle sort of Tea Party.

This is Hush-hush secret of the forum kinda dead body in the locker.

Everyone knows and noone will tell you
