Combining dimensions into one note or other dimension?

Combining dimensions into one note or other dimension?

Combining dimensions into one note or other dimension?

(OP)
Is it possible for me to combine dimensions into one dimension leader?  For example.  I have a shown dimension for the drill diameter of a tapped hole.  I'd like to attach to that the countersink angle, the countersink dimension and then the thread information.  Something like this would be in the drawing.

<dia symbol> .xxx DRILL - x.xx DP
90<deg symbol> CSKINK to <dia symbol>.xxx
thread callout.  

Back in Pro/E (sorry) I could grab the symbol information from various shown dimensions and build a parametric note that would update automatically if I changed the values in the 3D model. I'd like to be able to do the same in V5R18 if possible.

Thanks....

RE: Combining dimensions into one note or other dimension?

One thing you might try is right clicking on the dimesnion and creating a positional link and or a oreintational link to the tapped hole dimension OR note. That way when you move the main note, everything goes with it... Like 'tieing' GD&T to a dimension.... Again, just my 0.02
