Is there a way to select many holes in Hole Milling Operation?
We use NX8 and found a way to select many hoes with the same diameter with Synchronous "Group Face" BUT I can't use it in Hole Geometry. Also I can use color filter for many holes but how to color many holes with the same diameter avoiding manual picking every hole face in "Edit Object Display"?
Thank you

Thank you, Tingsryd !
Nice solution. I haven't used NC Assistant much so far. Somebody rated you already so you have the second star from me.
P.S. So for big plate with many holes you can start "NC assistant" - select faces with "lasso" - choose "Blends"(for Analysis Type) - Specify Vector perpendicular to holes (Y axis for example) - "Save Face Colors on Exit" - Analyze Geometry.
And after that in Hole/Boss Geometry: Right Mouse Button - Color Filter - pick the desired hole color.
We do not use Feature Based Machining so this will work fine I believe.
Sorry for my English - I am not native speaker.
