Note
Predrilling position
The position at which insertion is performed if "predrilled" is selected, is the same position that
you select when specifying the reference point with "left inside". In the case of a slot without
an angle of rotation, the predrilled position is the center point of the left rounding radius of the
slot. When the cycle is called on a position circle, the predrilled position is always the center
point of the rounding radius that is closer to the center point.
