Got Gibbscam 2009, trying to toolpath a .042" hole with a .0312" endmill. Went through the setting dialog using bore. Clicked on the hole, but the DO IT button won't highlight. I'm using a dxf imported file. It recognizes the part...so that doesn't seem to be the problem. Adding a second tool to the process under a contour and clicking on the hole got the DO IT button to highlight, but that can't be the right way of doing it. Are my settings in the bore dialog not allowing me to continue?

Any help would be appreciated.

If you are using any of the hole processes you need points or circles, not a body selection. If you use the hole wizard or manager then you do a body selection and the system creates the geometry for you.
