Choosing the tool for the Center Drilling Operation

SolidCAM searches for the tool in compliance with the pre-defined tool type and angle. The search is performed in the Part Tool Library in the diameter range from the value of the sum of the Hole diameter and Constant endlessly. Constant is equal to 1. The tool with the maximum diameter will be chosen. If the tool with such diameter was not found, SolidCAM chooses the tool of any diameter with a pre-defined tool type and angle.  

In the case of the absence of a suitable tool, an error message will be displayed and a tool for the center drilling operation will have to be defined manually.
