Hole tables in drawings
Hole tables in drawings
(OP)
What is the simplest way to generate a table giving x and Y coordinates of holes in a complex drawing in order to allow fabricators to read coordinates from a list rather than from the drawing itself? Values must be parametric and derived from created ordinate dimensions.

RE: Hole tables in drawings
Does the technique you suggested allow you to create a hole table for counterbored and countersunk holes? It has been my experience that you cannot create a hole table for for anything other than straight holes. I talked to our RAND support people a while back and they said that the hole table feature is still under development and is somewhat limited.
Any comments?
cheers,

If you have 200 or more holes, please tell me how will you put all yours &distance_x:fid_xx, &distance_y:fid_xx and &distance_z:fid_xx in the table?

It is always a better practice to show dimensions rather than creating them.

As far as hole tables go, I do not have much experience with them, but as far as I have been told, they do not have much flexibility. For instance if your view is an assembly view you will not be able to include part holes in your table. Also the naming of the holes is rather limited. I'd love to hear what other people's experience has been.
