Select rectangle corners for drill operation Mastercam 19

[TimW]

Hi,

We have several hundred drawings each with many small rectangular pockets. We want to add a drilling operation at the corner of each of those pockets. I believe in previous versions of Mastercam we were able to simply select the rectangular entities masked on color, but in Mastercam 19 the focus seems to have changed on selecting arcs only.

Is there a quick way to window select hundreds of rectangles and add a drilling operation on each corner?

Cheers!

Interesting, so you're the one guy who was using entity selection with lines, eh?   Not a direct answer, since no, you can't select lines the way you used to.  I'd create points @ endpoints, then just hit All Points.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. I suspected it was removed as no one used it. Well, except me...

I don't see any way to even select points? (window select) Am I missing something obvious?

Window select will work, or you can use the quick mask buttons on the right of the graphics window:

Ah!  I should have known that...

Thanks for the help. This will work fine.
