Copy a drilling

Menu access: Shape | Manage | Copy operation

Description:

Allows you to copy a drilling operation.

General philosophy:

  1. Select a face of the drilling to copy.

  2. Select the new face to drill.

  3. Select the first alignment face or edge.

  4. Enter the offset distance from the previous selected face/edge or select a parallel face/edge.

  5. Select the second alignment face or edge (non-parallel to the first one).

  6. Enter the offset distance from the previous selected face/edge or select a parallel face/edge.

Available option(s):

The option  Merge parameters= YES  or  NO  allows you to choose if you want or not the copied drilling to shape the same parameters as the source drilling. Then, the modification of one of them will produce the automatic modification of the other ones.

You can apply a propagation on the drilling operation using the option  Propagate= YES  or  NO .

The  COORDINATE SYSTEM  button allows you to directly select a coordinate system and avoid answering to the question 2 to 6.

Specific point(s):

You can choose a group (of circle or coordinate systems) to define the copy.
