NX Start Diameter in Hole Milling

The "Start Diameter" is not populating with the IPW hole diameter. The previously drilled hole was .120 diameter. The "Feature Geometry" shows "Start Diameter" of 0.000.


The image below shows a "Clip Section" of the part.

The "Point Length" of the tool is .0248.

Solution

To auto-populate the "Start Diameter" , "Bottom Stock"  must be greater than the "Point Length"  of the drilled hole. In this example:

Drill parameters in the image below...


Notice that the "Point Length"  is .0248

The "Feature Geometry" Cutting Parameters, Bottom Stock must be greater than the "Point Length"  in order to auto-populate the "Start Diameter" as seen in the image below.
