SmartMachining-Line Drilling

To allow for the widest range of applications with the
fastest method of selection, four different machining options have been
supplied. The first option ”Setback” relies on the setbacks supplied only.
Once the face and front edge are selected, the holes are generated to fit within
that entire face. The second option, “front hole and setback” are for those
manufactures who use the system holes to mount their drawer slides, and the
relationship between the first and second holes are crucial, again the entire
face is drilled. The third option is similar to the first, and the fourth option
is similar to the second, however they allow for an offset to be used and allows
for a specific number of holes to be drilled. The offset works both for the up
and down location as well as the front to back location. This makes inserting
the line boring holes for a 12” deep shelf in a 24” deep cabinet especially
easy as no setback needs to be determined ahead of time as the midpoint of the
front edge of the shelf can be your reference point, for example. By selecting
different parts in the assembly, any surface whether vertical, at an angle or
horizontal can be bored with holes. When using the program, please make sure to
read all the prompts as they can sometimes change depending upon any previous
machining that has been done on the part. In addition, please note the area that
can be seen as a dotted line, that describes the “face”. The use of through
dados may cause AutoCAD to redefine the “face” size.
