Drilling on Circle Centers

Post by ArchieF »

Hi Les,
I have a bitmap with black dots symbolizing holes vectorized to dxf and showing small polygons as "circles" now.
Importing it in Sheetcam while increasing the Circle Recognition Limit to 6mm shows me a blue cross in the center of every "circle".
However trying to create a drill operation using the blue crosses fails.

How to use this crosses as locations for drilling ? Is it possible ?

Thanks

Richard

It should drill. You'll probably have to set your min hole size quite low and your max hole size quite big.

Thanks Les,
you were right : Min 0.01mm and Max 12mm made it work :D
And the cut ordering optimisation works like a charm - from left to right the bottom points and from right to left the top points. PERFECT!

Thanks,
Richard
