    You need to tell, where the geometry comes from - solid featureextraction?

    AlphaCam won't drill a hole thats not a full circle, just draw another circle at the centre of the semi circle to use just for drilling then hide it if it's in the way.

    I'm doing this in automation manager so its abit of a pain if I have to drawer over 100 circles. I've managed to solve the problem by just making the circle smaller in solidworks before I import them into automation manager.

    You could just do the feature extration, telling AC that it shoul include partial holes up to a certain angle - the it will make You a full circle automaticly
