X-Y Coords for holes

X-Y Coords for holes

X-Y Coords for holes

(OP)
I need to create X-Y coordinate position table for holes in a drawing which has 300 various dia holes.Each hole would require an individual letter or number designation.
I am using SW2001

Any ideas please.

RE: X-Y Coords for holes

I got an idea you probably won't like. Upgrade to 2004. It has a Hole Table that does exactly what you want. Take you a minute to make the table, and populate the view with the labels you need. It will let you group like sized holes together if you want, and it will even X & Y slots and rectangular cuts (although it won't put their size in the table).

Thank you both for your promt response I have downloaded
the trial version of Dynabits for evaluation as this seems to be less expensive route.

RE: X-Y Coords for holes

chapers,

    Another solution is to do multiple views of the part, with each view being for a specific sized hole.  This takes more space on your drawing, but it makes things very clear.

    This would be really dumb on a drafting board or on 2D CAD, but you are not on a drafting board or 2D CAD, right?
