To Filter Rows
The Auto-Drilling table initially lists all the holes with the axes parallel to the z-axis of the specified coordinate system. You can apply further filtering rules to these holes, if desired.
1. Click View > Filter Rows.
The Auto-Drilling dialog box displays three list boxes: the Filter by box, on the left, lists all the available filters; the middle box lists the values available for the filter selected in the left box; and the Selected Filters box, on the right, lists the currently selected filtering rules. There are three buttons between the middle and right boxes: >>, <<, and Preview; and three buttons below the list boxes: OK, Apply, and Cancel.
2. Select a name of the filter in the Filter by box. The central box is updated to list the values available for the current filter (for example, diameter of the holes present in the model).
3. Select the desired value and click the >> button. The filtering rule appears in the Selected Filters box under the appropriate heading.
4. To view the holes that correspond to the current combination of filtering rules, click Preview. The system highlights the appropriate holes on the screen (move the dialog box, if necessary, to view the model).
5. To remove a filtering rule, select it in the Selected Filters box and click the <<button. To remove all the filtering rules, select Default in the Filter by box.
6. To complete the filtering process, click one of the three buttons below the list boxes:
◦ OK—Accept the current filtering rules and return to the Auto-Drilling table.
◦ Apply—Apply the current filtering rules.
◦ Cancel—Ignore the current selections and return to the Auto-Drilling table.
