Dual Dimensions in hole table.. possible?
(OP)
Hello all,
I am trying to get dual dimensions in my hole table for the x/y locations. I want the locations of the holes to be displayed in metric and english.
Anyone got any ideas? I can't figure it out.

If you're building a NASA Space shuttle with 20,000 holes all linked to a table and you need them to update automatically I wouldn't recommend this practice, plus you could probably get an enhancement request through easily if you had as much money as nasa, but if a guy on the shop floor needs dual dims on 30 holes in a table then this cheating practice works well.

Submit an Enhancement Request if this is important to you.
In the meantime, a possible workaround might be to create a config which is scaled up by 25.4 to simulate the metric sizes. A view of each config can then be placed on a drawing sheet, and a Hole Table created for each view. The scaled Hole Tables X & Y columns will appear to show metric. However if the hole wizard is used to create the holes, the holes will still be called up in imperial units, but geometry created holes will appear as metric.
If both views are to be left on the sheet, the scaled view will need to scaled back down to make it appear the same size as the original. However, to simplify the drawing, the scaled view could be hidden or moved outside the sheet border.
