Dimensioning Multiple Holes
Dimensioning Multiple Holes
(OP)
Is there a way in Solid Edge Draft to make the hole callout automatically grab how many holes of the same type?
"2X DIA .125 THRU"
In assembly it can pattern to holes that are created within the same step or feature, so draft should be able to count how many holes there are.

I think the only way is to make a hole table : you can add a 'count' column when you list by type/list each type.

The Callout command has all the necessary annotation tools to properly callout holes made with the Hole command. You can build it by hand or use the Hole Callout annotation which can be preconfigured to use specific annotation dependent on the hole type selected(simple, threaded, counterbore, etc...). You can then also add a Property Text item that uses the exposed variable for the count, but the only way a count would be available as a variable would be if a hole was patterned. If the hole was placed multiple times during a single hole command instance, then there is no count.

You could create a variable with formula X*Y and Expose it.

I want to see: "4X DIA .250" not "4.000X DIA .250".
