That's a good question.
Apparently the software calculates the depth and is unchangable in all but the Center Drill Feature.
However the default tool parameter for center drills has zero pilot length and point angle (unless I changed mine and don't remember).
If you go to Cam Part>Milling Tools>Tools>Center Drill you can define center drill geometry that will change how the depth is calculated. This can be done in the Feature itself with Manual Tool definition but be sure to verify your G-code if you use Manual Tools.
If you alter the machining order as discussed earlier in this thread and call the Center Drill Feature manually, then you can over-ride the depth.
