Canned Cycle Introduction #1: Using Pattern and Repeat
(Drilling, boring, tapping)
Selecting F1 - Drill will give you four choices; F1 – Drill, F2 – Drill BHC, F3 – Drill Array, or F4 – Drill Repeat.
F2 - Bore and F3 - Tap will have the same menu selections as drill except they will display Bore or Tap cycles

using the F1 - Drill single hole selection. The use of the Drill BHC or Drill Array, however, offers the option to drill
more than one hole in a pattern dictated by the new fields in the menu. F4 - Drill Repeat allows the user to repeat a
set of holes with a different type drilling, boring or tapping operation with out re-entering the X, Y coordinates.
