When making a hole call out in draft, is there a way for the call out to show the # of holes in the pattern. Instead of having to add it to the note.

mdrummond,

you can always make the count variable exposed in the variable table and reference it in your callout... should look something like %{VariableName|Assembly.asm:part.par}

Sorry if this is not complete... I seem to be in a hurry today...

Cheers,
Martin
 
As Martin says, you will need to lookinthe variable table and find the variable that represents the number of holes in the pattern. You should then rename the variable to something that will be recognizable and set it to be exposed.
When you place the callout you can then add property text that references the variable.

There is one slight draw back to this... if you suppress any holes in the pattern, they will still be counted. Which for me was a slight pita(!)
