Combine multiple, but similiar hole call-outs (Merging annotations, SW2011, SP1)

Combine multiple, but similiar hole call-outs (Merging annotations, SW2011, SP1)

Combine multiple, but similiar hole call-outs (Merging annotations, SW2011, SP1)

(OP)
Hi, When I create 4 holes as a single feature, when creating a drawing, I get something like "4x ⌀.20 THRU all". However, if I create them as separate, I don't get it (understandable). However, is there a way to merge them into one?

Thanks.

Use hole wizard, place all of the holes during the creation of the hole wizard.

Why merge them? Just select one and amend it to show the proper quantity. However, using the whole wizard is your best bet.

You could do a hole table to achieve this possibly. or have a single hole and do a sketch pattern to place the other 3. Could you share a pic of your model and answer if the holes are on different faces. I assume that's why you have the four as separate holes. However Hole Wizard can be performed to place holes on different faces. Are you avoiding having them all in the same wizard sketch for Configuration issues? You could do delete face features to control this from a design table approach.
