    projecting drilled holes

    I am trying to drill holes on a dome face, I draw an arc, then project it to the face, and when I post it the holes are in the right location, but the depth is just what ever I type in eg:z-.06 for centerdrill, but all the depths should be slightly differant.Any help would be appriciated.

    make sure the points are on the surface and use incremental depth

    It probably is what is posted above. You should be able to view your tool path in 3D and see where it is going. If it doesn't look right your parameters are probably off.

    Good luck
