changing multiple diameters

[metalmansteve]

What is process of changing multiple hole diameters?

I want to change a bunch of .078" dia. to .080" dia.

It must be something simple I'm just not seeing.

Using the Push-Pull feature on the Model Prep tab, Ctrl+clicking on one of the 0.078 holes will select all holes of the same diameter, and you can then change them all at once to your new desired diameter.

There used to be an arc multi-edit chook/nethook. I don't recall if it was supported or something that one of the great minds developed and offered at your own risk. It worked great though.

If the arcs are wireframe and you are using 2018 or 2019, first of all select all the arcs you want to change. Then use Analyze Entity, change the diameter of the last arc and press the blue "*" symbol next to it.  That button is called "propogate arc radius" and will set the other arcs to the same size.

Thanks! I was trying to do this yesterday and couldn't remember how to do it!

if the arcs are driving a solid ,  once in a while , not always propagation will kill Mcam when regenning the solid.....

This chook is still included.

ArcMultiEdit.dll

Works for wireframe arcs.

Yup. And I like this one because you can pick the arc by size and not accidentally select a wrong arc.
