To create a hole the user should define the values of its parameters (position, diameter, depth) and press the <Ok> button. The created hole will be automatically added to the list.

When hole's parameters are being altered, the changes are displayed in the graphic window.

< Z max > - top level mode:

<By workpiece>;
<By feature>;
<Default> – parentheses will indicate the default value selected in the < Default settings > window;
<Manual> – user set value manually.

< Z min > - bottom level mode:

<By feature >;
<By model>;
<Default> – parentheses will indicate the default value selected in the < Default settings > window;
<Manual> – user set value manually.

<Drill tip compensation> - choose the way the hole depth is specified:

<Off> – last tool path point matches the drill tooling point;
<Drill tip> – last tool path point matches the drill tip point;
<Length> – same as <Off> but the drill travels the specified value down from the drill tooling point;
<Auto> – hole depth is defined by the system based on whether the hole is blind or through.

<Default settings> button allows you to open window to set default values for <Z max> and <Z min>. These settings will be applied for the whole system, not just for a current project.

Also you can set <Z max> and <Z min> mode in graphics window. Click on top or bottom level and you see action menu. Each mode is displayed differently:
