(2) HOLES INSTEAD OF 2 x HOLES? 1

[CMcF]

Is it possible to change the way hole call outs represent multiple holes? We have traditionally represented the quantity of holes by using parentheseses (brackets).
It does not seam to be part of the calloutformat.

OK, I'm guessing different from the others again (yea, yea, bite me...) Are you trying to attach text to the dimension itself? If so you can just edit its properties and there are fields to put text before and after the system generated dimension text/symbols in addition to geometric tolerancing (which BTW: is now universal - ours system and ISO are the same, they consolidated at the latest rev.) Just remember that carriage returns and spaces are needed otherwise the your text will shoved right up against your dim.

Also if you insert a leaderless label and grab it by one of it's handle points, you can drag it over to a dim and drop it. It will then attach itself - kinda.

My VAR seems to be crippled by the wonderful economy in our area and has lost its tech support. I have not rec'vd any answer on the hole quantity not appearing. I did a test and tried feature patterns, sketch driven, hole wizard, everything I could think of even reverted back to virgin calloutformat.txt and .mdb files with no quantities showing up. Any input would be appriciated.

Thanks

bobsheets, don't waste your time, I think it works only in SW2004.

Thanks netshop, I checked all our 2003 training materials and I cannot find any reference to it. I guess I mis-understood the original thread question. I have done some api work scanning feature trees to get counts. Yes we have not switched to 2004, I am a lazy person and I watch this and comp.cad.solidworks and I want no part of 2004 yet. For our work it isn't to my knowledge worth the risk yet. I have one dual install on an isolated pc just to test and convert files. Thanks for the response!
