If your design model contains Chamfer features that you need to Countersink, you can automate the selection process by using the Auto Chamfer option, as described below.
Create a Countersink NC sequence and set up a tool with the Point_Angle corresponding to the chamfer geometry that you want to machine (see example).
When defining the Hole Set, select the checkbox next to the Auto Chamfer option in the Options section of the dialog box (this option is available for Countersink drilling only).
The system evaluates all the holes in the manufacturing model, and machines only those with chamfers corresponding to the Point_Angle of the current tool. The names of the axes to be machined are listed in the central list box of the Axes tab.
Notes:
You can apply another rule if you want to narrow the selection. For example, if you want to machine only chamfered holes on a certain surface, use Surfaces and select the surface you want.
If you change the tool to a one with a different Point_Angle, the system will automatically update the Hole Set to include the holes matching the new tool.
