Summary


Details

A complex part with a large number of holes is being drilled on a multi-axis machine. Find Features and Group Features are used in the Machining Feature Navigator to create the Feature Group. When the drill operation is generated some of the holes are incorrectly drilled from the inside out. Can these Feature Groups be automatically created so that they are drilled from the correct side?

Some Holes are drilled from the inside.

Solution

Adding a  Machining Access Direction Toward Point inside the part will cause the drilled holes to be in the correct direction. The point used is not an exact direction vector for each hole but simply distinguishes which side of the part to start from.

Machining Access Direction Toward Point is set.

The holes are correct after Find Feature is rerun.

All Hole Drilling is from the outside of the part.
