The Hole Feature that "drives" this operation will be listed here.  You can use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to move a selected Hole Feature up/down in the list.  Refer to the Features tab of the Machining Objects Browser for information on setting up operations from Hole Features.

Move Up  

This button moves the selected item up (i.e., higher) in the list.  Items are machined in the order listed.

Move Down  

This button moves the selected item down (i.e., lower) in the list.  Items are machined in the order listed.

Remove All  

Pick this button to Remove All Regions from the list.  The geometry itself is not deleted from the part model.

Remove Active  

Pick this button to Remove the selected Active region from the list.  You can select multiple Regions from the list using the Ctrl key and then pick this button to remove them all.  The geometry itself is not deleted from the part model.

Select Drill Points/Circles  

This will minimize the dialog and prompt you to Select Features for the operation.  From your part model, select one or more features you want to machine.  (Note: Features will highlight on the part as you move the mouse cursor over them.)  After confirming your selection the dialog will re-appear with your features listed. Machining Features can be created using the options on the Features tab of the Machining Objects Browser.

A cross-section preview of the Hole Feature is displayed.

This is the diameter of the top of the Hole Feature.  It is derived either from the Hole Feature selected from the Features tab of the Machining Objects Browser or from a Machining Knowledge Base with matching criteria.

Bottom Z / Z Val:

This is the Z coordinate value for the bottom of the Hole Feature.  It is derived either from the Hole Feature selected from the Features tab of the Machining Objects Browser or from a Machining Knowledge Base with matching criteria.

Bottom Z / Dia:

This is the diameter of the bottom of the Hole Feature.  It is derived either from the Hole Feature selected from the Features tab of the Machining Objects Browser or from a Machining Knowledge Base with matching criteria.

Check the Use Diameter Filter box to select holes within a specified diameter range.  You can enter Minimum Diameter and Maximum Diameter values.  If you select the Pick button, the diameter value of the selected feature will be entered into the field. Note: These filter settings are saved with the part file.  If your control geometry changes, you are warned to check your filter settings before proceeding.
