Type (Drilling)

Drill and Spot tools include a tip Angle parameter.  When a tip Angle is specified the 3D Preview simulation will show the tool tip and the Auto Depth option will add the drill tool tip length to the specified Depth.  

Below you can see the various combinations of the settings for drilling tools.
