Hole Table-Dual Dims

Hole Table-Dual Dims

Hole Table-Dual Dims

(OP)
SWX 2006 sp4.0

Is there a way to have dual dims in your hole table?  I haven't done one in a while and I thought I was able to do this before.  I have the dual dims turned on in the Options/Document Properties and all the other dims on the drawing come out dual, just not the ones in the table.  What's up?

Also, it doesn't look like SWX has given the option to change dim precision, in a hole table, per hole type and not just the entire table yet.  True?

Thanks

RE: Hole Table-Dual Dims

This has been discussed before - try running a search. But also to let you know this is a limitation.

RE: Hole Table-Dual Dims

(OP)
I did a search, before I asked the question, for 'HOLE TABLE DUAL' and also for just 'HOLE TABLE' and didn't find anything that gave me the answer.  It's possible that I missed it, but I did look first.

I know the hole table precision issue has been discussed before, I just thought maybe someone has heard when/if this would be changed.

RE: Hole Table-Dual Dims

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" to be metric.
If both views are to be left on the sheet, the view of the scaled-up part will need to be scaled down to make it look the same size as the original. However, to simplify the drawing, the scaled view could be hidden or moved outside the sheet border.

cheers

Thanks for the work-around, although I don't think my customer would appreciate the second table.  I was hoping it was possible within one table.
Thanks again.
