Drafting Questions....
(OP)
A have a couple of drafting questions, hopefully somebody can shed some light;
1. I have just discovered that if you create a hole dimension table, it is not linked, so if the part is updated the table is not (very dangerous). Is there a way around this?
2. When using the "Cumulated Dimension" tool, it only displays a line at the starting point, I would like it to display 0.00.
If you are drafting a large part, it is not always easy to spot the line. I know I can manually add text, but it seams there should be a option somewhere?
Thanks in advance

1b. As the designer, be aware of this tidbit and act accordingly.
2. As CATIA Administrator, edit your standards.

If I was just learning CATIA, there is nothing that makes this obvious, and one might think, since other dimensions update, that the table would as well. I can understand not adding a new hole, but why wouldn't the table update for existing holes?

I guess, as you said, it comes down to that CATIA treats the tables as text rather than dimensions, but I could definitely see how users might think otherwise. I don't remember any mention this in the training manuals I went thru (that was R14 ro R15 though).
