Drilling processes

Icon Access:

Menu Access:

Progressive die | Component definition | Drill processes

Description:

This function creates the different drill processes associated with the component.

General procedure:

1. Use the dialog box to define the processes you want.

Click on the different fields of the image below.

Particular remark(s):

 The processes must be defined in a given order: this is because TopSolid does not know how to drill a "small" hole in a large "counterbore"

 You can also create "substraction" processes. They will be created in the same way as for a TopSolid component with define tools. They are executed automatically when the component in a part if it is collision with the component as well as with the substraction tool. The clearances are defined as drivers, but will not be able to be configured in the component positioning box.

This function is available only in a TopSolid'Design document:
