Hi,

Need some help making a breackchip drill opperation then using endmill from same location to machine a oval in 2.5D. I was only able to make the drill MOps in the middle of the oval then machining from there. I need it to make the hole right on the edge of the oval and then machining from there.

Any tips welcome!!

You will need to create a point at an offset distance equal to the radius of your drill. This point will have to be created at each oval, then select these points as the machining region in your drilling MOP.
Also; it may be easiest to create the points by using "2 point circle" creation and then use the centerpoint, this will give you the same results without needing a calculator.
