When you create a hole for a hole-making toolpath, the new Include voids checkbox provides selection control of the voids between hole segments. The resulting hole form includes hole segments that are collinear to the selected hole, in addition to the voids between them, comprising a single hole form. The red arrow in the first image indicates a void between hole segments. The second image shows how the hole displays in the Hole Segments page of the toolpath’s parameters dialog box. The segment with the dashed lines is the void.

When the Include voids checkbox is unchecked, collinear holes with voids between them are considered individual hole forms. The following image shows the Include voids option in the Toolpath Hole Definition panel.
