Drilling Tool

Place one or more drillings on a panel face with precise diameter, depth, and edge offset control.

How it works

  1. Before hovering a panel, type diameter;depth to set the drill parameters
  2. Click on a panel face to set the offset distance from the reference edge
  3. Move along the edge and click to place each drilling

Keys

  • Shift = Snap to regular drill positions along the edge
  • Esc = Cancel the operation

VCB Input

  • No face hovered: type diameter;depth to change drill size (e.g. 8;19)
  • After setting offset: type a distance to reposition the last drilling precisely
  • After a drilling: type ×N or /N to multiply or divide the spacing

Tips

  • The depth is automatically capped to the panel thickness if it exceeds it
  • The offset distance is measured from the closest parallel edge
  • Click without moving to repeat the last drilling at the same offset
