Drill hole grouping
If there are multiple geometric holes,
the same holes that have been identified by the
automatic drill hole recognition are pooled into a
single drilling feature for better clarity. This
grouping of similar drill holes can also be done
manually by the user. If the output method of the CNC
data offers the option to use drilling patterns, this is
optimized accordingly and thus the number of macros used
is massively reduced.
The geometry of the drill pattern is associatively linked to the overall model, so that changes in the model geometry directly affect the generation of the drilling operations in the CNC program. |
