My problem seems very simple I am just new to solidworks.
I am lloking for a function that would describe the part's attributes. Not a BOM.

example, I have a part with 15 holes, various dia.
is there such a command that would list these holes and diameters etc. as well, perimeter of the entire part, etc.
in essence a text discription of the part that would appear in a table format or some from of report?
I feel like I am missing something very simple..thanks

RE: Attributes

In the drawing, there is a Hole Table function that will give x-y coordinates and hole size in a table format.

I tried this out, and cannot get the hole table icon to show up. it is not even in INSERT> like the help function claims it is? any suggestions? is this something that needs to be installed? activated? I have excel so that is not the problem

RE: Attributes

What version of SW are you using? I may be wrong, but I believe HTs only came into being in SW2004.

SW 2004, the icon is there it is just "greyed" out...Thanks for the resonse though!

RE: Attributes

Within the drawing you must first select the view that you would like the hole table associated with.  Once you click on the view, insert>table>hole table.
