merge the feature su powermill

hello, can anyone tell me how you can group the features, created by the imported model, by diameter?
then succeed in making a program for each grouping?

 

[filippo b]

it is not necessary, just use the selection filter by diameter, a priori before creating the drilling or directly inside the processing form.

ok that filter I can use it on a feature, but the problem is that it creates several features but with the same diameter among them!! thanks for availability

Now it's clearer.
It should however be determined for what reason you have more than one feature, if 5 axes you can group features without work plan (vectoral, if your post allows it), if instead 3 axes so much better, the feature set must be one.
In any case, you can take a feature (active), select by diameter, then transfer the selected features by simply dragging them into another feature set.
I hope it's clear.

very clear!! but arrived at the point of dragging the correct features makes me the sign of ban and does not move... Any ideas? (5 axes)

then the question returns to the initial logic of creating the feature set; if you are forbidden to migrate features from each other, it is probably because such sets have different work plans. This circumstance is found because, in the recognition of the holes in the model, there is the option grouping the features per axis (the exact name of the function did not remind me of it, but anyway you should identify the same).
If you want only one set of features, multi-axis, multi-diameter, you need to recognize the holes again in the model, without the option split by axis. You'll get what you're looking for. post processor allowing (if it is heid or siemens no problem, fanuc base should be tried, should make the various g68 between one hole and another).

Thank you so much now I try to solve, I understand what you mean!
