Hi all:

In essence, you need to define a MUDF (Manufacturing UDF) for lets say a M6 hole. Create for example 3 sequences, spot drill, drill, tap and make a MUDF out of them. for the UDF names, use for the retract plane = RETRACT, for the csys = CSYS, for the axis = AXIS.


Set the config.pro option 'AUTODRILL_UDF_DIR' to the appropriate directory containing the MUDFs.

Next hit the auto drilling button. Pro/E will find all holes in the active z-direction (you can select a new z-direction if necessary. The dialog will show the holes on the left, and the avaliable MUDF's on the right. Nex you select which holes to drill, and what MUDF to apply. Pro/E will now sort the sequences for tool order.

Also, to automate this put a parameter on the hole feature called HOLE_TYPE and if the string in the parameter matches the name of a MUDF, it will be applied automatically. This allows for a 100% automation for drillin operations.

Neat.

Cool.... would you by any chance be willing to share them UDF's?

Thanks in advance
