In the Pocket Selection dialog, click the Show the Pocket Table checkbox to display the NC Pocket Table dialog. This is similar to the Pocket Table displayed from the Pocket Manager, but with an additional Selection column that when ON, signifies that this pocket's contour is selected for the contour selection operation.
Pockets can be selected using any of the following methods (see the Pocket Manager for detailed information):
-
Pocket Selection dialog: Use the dialog selection controls - Select all Displayed Pockets and NC Pockets Criteria.
-
Graphics display: Select pockets by picking them.
-
Pocket Table: Select pockets by picking rows. Use the sorting capabilities of the Pocket Table, as required; for example, filter all pockets with the same draft angle.
Note: A pocket is only selected for the procedure operation if the checkbox in the Selection column is ON. If the checkbox is OFF, this means that the pocket has been selected for another purpose, such as Hide/Show.
