Abstract: A drill design aide for designing a drill having a plurality of positions wherein a user is able to access the drill design aide through a graphical interface which displays a drill being designed. A drawing module within the drill design aide enables a user to create and edit the drill being displayed upon the graphical interface. A count track module enables a user to create an initial formation and reshape the initial formation to a next formation without a user completely redrawing the next formation. A drill resize module enables a user to resize a previously designed drill having a first number of positions to a new drill having a different number of positions than the originally designed drill by either increasing or decreasing the number of positions within the drill.
