Point table in draft mode.

Good question, not that I know of other than to create a bunch of TINY little holes.
Obviously you wouldn't want to do this on your production part, so create a part copy of it. Add the holes to the part copy. Place a view of the holed-part on your drawing, but off of your title block area (off the page so it doesn't print). Create a hole table using this part and place the table on your drawing.
Pretty kludgy, but it will work.

You don't have to have a physical hole feature in the model, any circle in the draft view is valid for a hole table.
So, in your draft view go to Draw-in-View and place circles at the points you want. You could also place point elements, at a different colour and thickness to make the point more visible in the drawing.
Exit draw-in-view.
Create your hole table to these circles.
Now go back to draw-in-view and change the layer of the circles to Auto-Hide.
When you close draw-in-view the hole table will still be valid but the circles will not show.

Where would we be without sat-nav?
