1.5" materials automatically get 3 border route passes at different depths
Hello, When working with 1.5" materials, I have a separate processing station where the border route on all parts gets a double pass with the first pass being at 3/4" and the last being full depth of course (this can be done in the processing stationNew User Training

Hi, I was wondering if someone can point me to the right global setting to change the boring on divisions. Right now the program wants to flip the part. I would like for it to bore it all the way through if the shelf holes match on each opening. example:Border Route depths
Are border routes controlled by the processing station only? The following example cuts through, despite showing a 1/16" skin unless I set the processing station to leave skins:Part Drawing Tokens
When in the part properties, with the drawing token tab selected, it would be nice to right-click in 3D Draw Token: and 2D Draw Token: to have the token list to select from instead of having to come to the community site to find what token is needed.New Foundation Library Release Available Now: Build 23.0828
