Orifice Plug: Merge to Cavity option

Note:

·       The Merge with Cavity option converts all the cavity types to Cartridge Valve (CV) cavity types.

·       The area from the bottom port plug to the drill end is considered as Working Area. Thus, the merged cavity has a side port in this area.

·       The machining parameters for both the cavities are also automatically merged.
