Pre-Drilling Operations

Use this Entry & End Points parameter for Rough Spiral, Rough Parallel, and Volume Pocket to automatically calculate the location to pre-drill holes in the stock and create the drilling operations where required. There are three options available:

None

Pre-drilling operations are not performed. This option is backwards compatible with files created in previous versions of Cimatron (prior to Cimatron 2026).

This is the default option.

By Cycle

Use drilling cycles to drill holes in the stock. Up to three (3) drilling cycles can be defined.

If this option is selected, the following parameters are displayed:

Define Cycle
Drill Holes First
