Mold inserts usually have long coolant holes. The first step in the manufacturing is drilling these holes, before any milling job. Find feature does not know about this, and I cannot find any option to do what I need. Should I seek for some feature modifying option? Or is there any switch in the hole making operations to start from IPW?

How do You guys solve this?
