I’d like to automate axis creation

[marker4x4]

Hiall, here's some food for thoughts:

we're working more than often with imported geometry from our customers. There's parts that come with hundreds of holes.
When it comes to drilling, it becomes a problem since there's no center axis associated with those holes. Each and every axis needs to be created "by hand" - we have a hotkey (Axis-Create-Cylinder) to do that, but still it's time consuming and debilitating at the best....
I wonder if there's a smart way to automate this process (UDF, or???).

Any ideas will be appreciated!

Thanks,

There is a toolkit app that we got from PTC that will add axis to imported geometry. Contact your local AE.

You will need to be familiar with loading Toolkit applications.

For anyone wondering about this app - it's a beauty and HUGE time-saver. On behalf of the ProNC community, thanks Andy - you're a true asset.
