Hi to everybody,
I have a CAM question.

I would like to make some drill holes around a cilinder that is parametric generated by his diameter.
Each hole of 1 mm must be 0.25 mm from each other.
When I change the diamater the holes must be ri-calculated every time because they depend on the diamater.
It's possible to do this whitout re-select every time the points for the drill operation?

Thanks.
 

If you add more holes then yes you will need to reselect. Use the All holes on Face option. If you remove holes then you should be able to re-generate without selecting. Make the original operation to the largest diameter you expect then work down from there with your diferent iterations.
