Hurco conversational help - slots / cirlce milling on a bolt circle pattern

[raydogg920]

Is there an easy way in Hurco conversational to mill a specific number of slots and or circle mill on a bolt hole pattern?
I know how to do it when drilling which can't be any easier but don't see how to do it when milling.

Depending on what software you have you can from the drill cycle, bolt cirlce screen, convert to locations and then copy to pattern locations.

Piece of cake
Use the PATTERN feature called LOOP ROTATE
You can mill a slot or a circle (not drill) and then rotate about an axis point any number of times

Wow thanks for the quick replies. I have only been using the Hurco winmax control for about 5 weeks now coming from Mazak.
Let me do more research on the Patter loop rotate option and see if I can pull this together . Certainly looks like that is what I need though.
