To Create a Custom Hole Table
You can format the display of the hole table to meet your specific Detailing needs. See
Criteria to Include Holes and Cuts in a Hole Table before you proceed.
1. Open a drawing.
2. On the
Table tab, click
Hole Table. Alternatively, right-click and click
Create Hole Table on the shortcut menu. The
Hole Table dialog box opens
4. Use the Table columns area to customize the columns in the hole table. A row in the Table columns area corresponds to a column in the hole table.
◦ If not included previously, select any of the following parameters from the Add list to include them as rows in the Table columns area. These rows appear as columns in the hole table that you create:
▪ Click Hole Label to add the Hole Label row for all the holes including cuts.
▪ Click X, Y, and Z to add the X, Y, and Z rows to determine the location of the hole, cut, datum point, or the datum axis along the X-, Y-, and Z-coordinates.
|  You cannot select the Z parameter from the Add list for the holes and datum axes. |
▪ Click Diameter to add the Diameter row for holes and cuts.
▪ Click Parameters > Select. The Select Parameters dialog box opens. Select the required parameters and click Insert Selected in the dialog box to add the parameters as individual rows in the Table columns area.
▪ Click Parameters > Enter Name to add a row with a new parameter name. In the new row, type a name for the parameter in the empty box that appears in the Parameter column. You can specify a name regardless of whether it exists or not.
▪ Click Feature Name to add the Feature Name row.
◦ Click Remove to remove one or more selected rows from the Table columns area. The corresponding columns in the hole table are removed if you have created a hole table with those columns.
◦ Click Up to move the selected row up by a single level.
◦ Click Down to move the selected row down by a single level.
5. To customize the hole table further, change the following settings in the Table format area:
◦ Sort column—Modifies the protocol for sorting entries in the hole table. By default, hole tables are sorted by the first column as displayed in the Table columns area.
◦ Number of rows—Defines the number of rows in a hole table. You can add maximum of 8000 rows to the table.
| If the number of items to be listed in the hole table exceed the maximum value for the rows, multiple table segments are created to list all the eligible holes, axes, or points in a segment. In such cases, you are prompted to select the top left corner for each segment. |
◦ Decimal Places—Sets the number of decimal places for the values displayed in the hole table. The default is 3.
6. To customize the display of hole notes in the hole table, change the following settings in the Hole label area:
◦ Naming convention—Defines the method of naming holes. The default is set to Alphanumeric, the ASME standard. However, the ISO and Numeric standards are also available.
◦ Position—Defines the default position of the text for hole notes with reference to the selected hole axis. You can select either Hole Upper Right or Hole Center to position the text.
| By default, the system creates hole notes as offset notes with reference to the selected hole axis. |
◦ Text height—Defines the size of the text for hole notes in the drawing view. The default size is -1. However, you can type any value between 0.001 and 100.
7. Select a coordinate system reference for the drawing items to be listed in the hole table.
8. Select the location for the top left corner of the hole table.
You can move a hole table to a different location as you would do to an ordinary table.
