Drawing dimensions for hole callout: Add spacing parameter?
Drawing dimensions for hole callout: Add spacing parameter?
(OP)
Hi,
I have a pattern of holes. To reduce clutter, when I dimension, I want to add a hole spacing info. Is there a way to modify the hole spacing info here. I see that the spacing info has an associated variable like this: "RD3@Drawing View10" . Is there something that could be done?
Thanks.

'10 PITCHES @ 100.0 = 1000.0 NON-ACCUMULATIVE'
The way I currently achieve this is to dimension from first hole to last, then modify the dimension text. If there is a better way to do this, I'm very keen to know about it, as I might be inclined to use it more often!

I second CBL's suggestion.
The easy, standard's compliant solution to your problem is to apply your dimensions directly to your pattern. Your note should be a description of the hole, only.
There is a pitch circle option in SolidWorks, when you apply centre marks.
