    Default Group Transform?

    I have a file with hundreds of the same size hole. Only problem is, I need them all to be slightly larger. Is there a way to transform all of them at once, or do I have to transform each individual one?

    Thanks.

    I believe you can do this in ArtCAM, but not PartWizard.

    What file format?
    You may be able to select all and scale them up.

    I just had a file with over 2000 holes which needed to go from 0.5 to 0.52 so I simply lied about the bit size. 0.25 -> 0.23

    Rob,
    Don't you love it when you think of a simple solution like that? Way to think outside the circle!

    There is also the "allowance" feature at the top of the tool path function. .01 would work there. (it would add .01 to radius, and .02 to diameter

    All the above should work but here one more for the fun!

    Offset Vector(s) feature. You just have to figure the require offset. I don't know in PW but in ACI and ACP one can delete the original in the process. Say you cannot, when the vector(s) are offset, the new one(s) are selected by default. While they are selected, cut 'em (CTRL-X), select the original one(s) and delete them then paste back (CTRL-V) the new one(s).
