•If you mchange the “Flatness” and “Algorithm” parameter settings and click the [Apply] but- ton, the holes will be filled according to the new parameter settings.
•To restore the initial state (i.e. holes are not filled), click the [Hole Reset] button.
•To fill all the holes, click the [All] button.
•All the holes which have not been filled will be filled according to the parameter settings.
•After filling the holes, the program closes the dia- log and the temporary window, and then displays a dialog indicating the results.
5 Click the [Next Hole] button.
The dialog box will close and a new dialog box will appear.
The hole to be filled next will be displayed in the window.
6 Repeat step 4 until all the desired holes are filled.
