Change the Sent-to-Drill Status of Holes

Holes that have been sent to drill holes are locked; that is, changes cannot be made to the hole design, with the exception that a charge toe surface can still be assigned.

If at least one hole in the pattern has been sent to drill, the pattern is 'live'. See BlastPad.

Note: Exporting hole designs to a drill navigation system also sets the Sent to Drill hole property to True. See Export Hole Design to a Drill Navigation System.
