## Operation

The default 'Activate Drill' checkbox is on. When it is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, the functions will not be called.

## Settings

### Drilling Margin

The drill script will move the tool from the top of the hole plus the 'Drilling Margin on Top', to the bottom of the hole minus the 'Drilling Margin on Bottom'.

### Drilling Margin on Top

Default is three millimeters.

### Drilling Margin on Bottom

Default is one millimeter.

## Examples

The following examples drill the file Screw Holder Bottom.stl. The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.stl and drill.py.
> python drill.py
This brings up the drill dialog.
> python drill.py Screw Holder Bottom.stl
The drill tool is parsing the file:
Screw Holder Bottom.stl

The drill tool has created the file:
.. Screw Holder Bottom_drill.gcode
