Minimize hole cycle
This option enables you to shorten the GCode file by grouping similar drilling positions under the same GCode cycle - the holes that have the same Upper level and Depth data are grouped under a common single Gcode cycle.
When this check box is not selected, a separate GCode cycle is generated for each drilling position of the machined geometry.
Example:
(DR-DRILL-R7-T3 - DRILL-HR)
(-------------------------)
X35.85 Y35.85 Z10.
G98 G81 Z-96. R2. F33

G0 X509.85

When this check box is selected, SolidCAM groups the drilling positions with the same Upper level and Depth under the common GCode cycle.
