When a drill cycle has been selected, the Conversational Data Input 
display provides a help screen graphic with each data input dialogue.    
This display shown is typical for counterbore data input.
Touch the name of the data to be input. This will open the dialogue 
menu showing the necessary fields that require data.
Drilling cycles are modeled after programming the desired 
cycle. The X - Y locations must be programed. This can be 
done directly with X and Y data, a bolt hole, or linear 
pattern.  When done programming X - Y locations, 
program a Drill Off block.
