Question about Hole Table feature
Question about Hole Table feature
(OP)
Does anyone know of a way to make the hole table feature automatically map the holes to be in order from right to left or clockwise.(From the zero-corner) Currently, when designing and drafting the hole locations in our symmetrically opposite molds, the labeling is all over the place making tools with a lot of holes, somewhat hard to follow. For example in the current job I'm working on, hole's B1 and B2 are symmetrically opposite of hole's F1 and F2, while at the same time hole's K8 is symm-opp of hole K11. It just seems to be a bit more random than it could be.
Any advice is welcome, whether I need to create a sketch and map sketch holes, or whatever, I'm open for suggestions.
Thank you in advance.
Joe

RE: Question about Hole Table feature
Prior to NX 8.5, you had no control whatsoever over the order. However, starting with NX 8.5, if you manually select the holes, by picking them one at a time, the software will honor the selection order in terms of where that particular hole appears in the Hole Table note.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
