Expert Machinist - programming Entry Hole features

Hi all,

I want to program entry hole features for some pockets I am milling. I created three entry holes at .3125 dia for the three previously created pocket features. When I created toolpath for the first pocket and select "Entry Hole" in the pocket dialog, a window popped up and allowed me to select the corresponding entry hole. However, when creating toolpath for the other two pockets, the dialog won't allow me to select "Entry Hole" - it remains greyed out.

1) Is there some trick to this that I am missing? Do the various associated features need to be created in a certain order when programming multiple pockets/Entry Holes?

2) I don't seem to be able to program a spot drill for the entry holes. Again, is the functionality lacking, or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for any help.

-Chris
