Hole Patterns
I am having a brain freeze .. again and can't seem to find a way to save this pattern so as I can use it on other gables. Any help would be appreciated. TIA.

Re: Hole Patterns
In Contour Mode, click the disk icon to save the geometry.

Dan -- When I tried to do this previously it would only give me the option of saving as a x_t file.DanEpps wrote:In Contour Mode, click the disk icon to save the geometry.

Re: Hole Patterns
Correct. You can load the x_t in Contour Mode and apply it to other panels.

Re: Hole Patterns
Dan -- I have tried to apply it to other panels and it doesn't appear when finished. I tried to open the x_t file in hole patterns to check the depth of the holes but it won't let me. How can I check to see if they have any depth? TIA.DanEpps wrote:Correct. You can load the x_t in Contour Mode and apply it to other panels.

Re: Hole Patterns
Wally, take your display panel to the PE, then go to Contour, apply your pattern to the part, then go back to PE and from there right click and from the menu select Cut/pocket using closed contour, then select the hole or holes, they will turn green.Click next. From there you can set the depth of the holes.
