Table Driven Dimension into Dwg?

[mjake]

A vendor provided some hole location in X,Y format.
these holes are on the end face of a round body. (i.e. the
end of a tube) When I try to use the Hole Table feature in
the drawing there is no X axis or Y axis to pick (body is round) Is there a way to export the dimensions from the table into a table on the drawing without having to dimension each hole individually on the drawing sheet?
Thanks in Advance

Drawing mode can insert the dimensions of the holes themselves, but it can't insert location dimensions if there were none defined in the hole wizard first.

Oops, you said hole TABLE, not hole wizard. My bad... Well, I was able to repeat your problem in my session. I tried curves and sketches to simulate edges, but no luck. What worked was when I created a planar surface perpendicular to the viewing angle, to simulate an edge. You can pick on that to define a direction. The only caveat is that you have to wait until you create the hole table in the drawing to hide the surface body in the part.

Use a sketch point instead of sketch lines. Has to be in the lower left corner though. Use sketch lines to contrain the point and lockit down. Then you can use the hole table.

Thanks for the help.
I'll try that and see how it goes.
