Hole Editing
This section to configure how existing holes are to be updated when surfaces or subdrill are changed.
The Honour the hole 2D location option to honour the 2D layout of the pattern as well as retain the hole location in an XY constant. The Honour the hole vector to retain the vector of the hole at the same place and 'slide' the intercepts along that vector. The Honour the vector option only matters when the hole is not vertical.
For example, if you have a dipping top down hole located on a bench at 'RL 100', and you reset the collar to be on a bench of 'RL 110', then the new collar will need to be shifted to 'RL 110'. This can be done by moving the entire hole up 10 metres and retaining the XY location. Alternatively, you could honour the hole vector and move the XY location of the hole to where the hole intercepts the 110 plane.
