      <p class="para_topic">The Depth Offset allows you to specify an amount of material to remain above the bottom of blind holes (e.g., for finish operations) or past the break out of through holes (e.g., to assure break through).</p>
      <p class="para_topic">Depth Offset consists of two values: Blind Hole stock which applies to blind holes and Thru Hole clearance which applies to through holes.</p>

      <p class="para_topic">The Depth Offset is used in conjunction with the Depth option under Cycle Parameters and Bottom Surface as follows:</p>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">If the Depth option under Cycle Parameters is set to Model Depth, the Depth Offset applies only to solid holes. It does not apply to points, arcs, or holes in sheet bodies.</p>

         <li>
            <p class="para_item">If the Depth option under Cycle Parameters is set to To Bottom Surface, the Blind Hole stock is applied to all selected objects. A Bottom Surface must be active.</p>
