This display shown is typical for counterbore data input.
 Touch the name of the data to be input. This will open the dialogue
menu showing the necessary fields that require data.
Drilling cycles are modeled after programming the desired

done directly with X and Y data, a bolt hole, or linear
pattern. When done programming X - Y locations,
program a Drill Off block.
