Mulitple drills, same size

TH Designs

Ran NC drill and table comes up with three 0.040 holes all plated thru. They each had a different symbol so I manually changed the symbol to the same for each thinking that would combine them into one listing for the 0.040 hole.

Why does this one drill size show up as three line items? How can I combine the holes into one listing?

    Bud,

    I did as you suggested and all of the drills are 40 mils, no metric rounding issues. What I did find was in the NC Drill Customization there is a "Merge" button which will merge all same size drills into one entry.

    Why there were multiple line items for the same drill is still a mystery, but using "Merge" combined them into one entry.
