Prevent automatic list fill

Post by mpetrasinovic »

Is it possible to prevent an automatic fill of the list (Base Geometry) with all circular holes eligible for the operation from the model within Drilling operation?

If you select holes before creating the operation, it should only use the selection. If you select nothing, it will autodetect drillable holes but you can always clear the list.

How to clear the list (Base Geometry) within Drilling operation? Probably a stupid question :)

What you mean by select holes before creating the operation? If I select a circular edge or cylindrical face from the 3D view it does not use the selection.

Select the rows in the geometry tab. (Not the tick selection, you actually have to select the rows. Or select one row and then do Ctrl+A
Then use the 'remove' button

Hmm. This seems to be a regression. It doesn't work for me either. I'm not sure when we lost that.

I will try like that, but what caught my attention is the Reset button, my opinion is that there should be Recognize and Clear buttons instead. For me, this Reset button was misleading (because it is Clear than Recognize it is not reset of the list).

I hope that this will find way back in master.
