In the Group Management dialog, the Group List section lists all the holes found by the Create Hole Groups analysis. This analysis divides the holes into groups according to hole type, geometry and attributes. As the holes in each specific group are identical, the drilling process is the same for each hole in the group.
The Group List section of the dialog controls the display of the other sections of the dialog. When you select a group, the other sections in the dialog display parameters specific to the selected group.

|
The Group List section displays: Groups: the groups of identical holes Holes: the number of holes in each group Status: drill (check) or don't drill the holes. |
The status of each row in the table is color coded.
|
|
Grey = Status unchecked - do not drill. Blue = Currently selected group. Red = One or more cutters required by the drill process does not exist. Select a cutter from the Process Management section. White = The drill process is ready to be executed. |
The following operations can be carried out in this section:
