create drill path

create drill path

The create drill path module allows you to interactively create a complex drill path with multiple segments.

Each segment can be defined by one of three methods:

  1. Continue Straight: Continue for the specified total length along the current direction (or Initial Drill Direction if just starting).
  2. Target Coordinate: Begin deviating with a specified segment length and maximum angle of change per segment until you reach the specified (X, Y, Z) coordinate.
  3. Move to Heading: Begin deviating with a specified segment length and maximum angle of change per segment until you reach the specified heading and dip.
