Property shows the selected columns that appear in the hole table. Right-click to open the Column Chooser or Format Column dialog boxes.

Column edits the column header names.

Width sets the width of the hole table columns. Enter a specific width for each column or click and drag to resize after the hole table is created.

Options

Row Merge Options modifies settings for merging hole table rows.

None

Preserves legacy hole table formatting.

Reformat Table on Custom Hole Match reindexes the hole tags and resorts contents when a Match Custom Hole operation is done.

Numbering replaces the alphanumeric hole tags with sequential numbering of the holes in the hole table.

Rollup

Combines the hole note cells for the holes of the same type in the hole table. Only the first hole in a series is still listed in the table. The rolled-up cell adopts the formatting of the first row (hole) in the series.

Delete Tags on Rollup Except for the first in a series of hole tags, deletes tags from the associative view. Clear the check box to preserve tags.

Secondary Tag Modifier on Rollup causes all hole tags in the table and view to include the secondary numerator. Clear the check box to drop the secondary modifier. For example, A1, A2 and B1 become A, A, and B.

Combine Notes

Combines hole note cells for the holes of the same type in the selected hole table.

Reformat Table on Custom Hole Match reindexes the hole tags and resorts contents when a Match Custom Hole operation is done.

Numbering replaces the alphanumeric hole tags with sequential numbering of the holes in the hole table.

Hole Tag Options changes settings for formatting hole tags.

Preserve Tagging causes permanent hole identifiers for each hole tagged when the table is first placed. Clear the check box to respecify holes when holes are added or deleted from the model).

Tagging is preserved only with respect to changes to the model, such as when you add, delete, suppress or unsuppress hole features. Manual changes to the hole table, such as when you resort, change tag order, and filter hole types, are not affected.

Use Leader generates a leader for any hole tag dragged away from the hole with which it is associated. Clear the check box to hide the leader of hole tags dragged away from an associated hole.

Tag Order sets tag order of holes in a hole chart. Existing hole tables are not affected by these settings.

Arrange by Position tags holes relative to their position on the selected view. Position is arranged with YDIM as the primary key and XDIM as secondary key. If YDIM and XDIM are equal, hole size is the tertiary sorting key, smallest to largest.

Arrange by Size tags holes in order by size (smallest to largest). Size refers to the drill diameter (HDIA) parameter for drilled, counterbored, and countersunk holes. The tap drill diameter (TDDIA) is used for threaded holes. If holes are of equal size, holes are sorted by position. Group Hole Types must be unselected. Holes added from a center mark are added to the end of the list.

Group Hole Types tags holes by hole type and then by choice of size or position. Existing hole tables are not affected by these settings. The group order is:

Drilled holes includes extruded cut circles and circular voids.

  • Thru
  • Blind

Threaded holes

  • Thru: Full Thread, Depth Thread
  • Blind: Full Thread, Depth Thread

Counterbored holes and Countersunk holes. If a counterbored or countersunk hole is tapped, the tapped designation is disregarded for grouping.

  • Thru
  • Blind

Center marks

View Filters sets features and hole types to include in a view-based hole table. Existing hole tables are not affected by these settings.

Included Features selects features to include or exclude in view-based hole tables. Select a check box to include hole features, circular cuts, and center marks or clear the check box to exclude them.

  • Hole features allows view-based hole tables to include hole features.
  • Circular cuts allows view-based hole tables to include extruded cuts. Clear the check box to exclude extruded circular cuts from view-based hole tables. Circular cuts are recognized only as drilled thru or drilled blind holes, and cannot include mid-plane extrusions.
  • Center marks allows view-based hole tables to include entries with center marks. Clear the check box to exclude center marks from view-based hole tables. Center marks with visibility turned off are not included in hole tables.
  • Recovered Punch Centers allows view-based hole tables to include punch features. Clear the check box to exclude punch features from view-based hole tables. Punch center marks with visibility turned off are not included in hole tables.

Included Hole Types selects hole types to include or exclude in view-based hole tables. Select a check box to include drilled, counterbored, countersunk, or threaded holes. Clear a check box to exclude the hole type from views. Not available if hole features are excluded from view hole tables.

  • Drill Holes includes drilled hole features in view-based hole tables.
  • Counterbore/Spotface Holes includes counterbored hole features in view-based hole tables. May be selected when creating selection-based or feature-based hole tables. Clear the check box to exclude from new view-based hole tables, and make edges or counterbored holes unavailable after you add a hole or create a selection-based or feature-based hole table.
  • Threaded Holes includes threaded holes in view-based hole tables. Allows selection of threaded holes for adding holes or creating selection-based and feature-based hole tables. Clear the check box to exclude threaded hole features when adding holes or creating a selection-based or feature-based hole table, and when creating new view-based hole tables. Makes edges of threaded hole features unavailable after you add holes or create selection-based or feature-based hole tables.
  • Countersink Holes includes countersunk holes in view-based hole tables. Allows selection of countersunk holes for adding holes or creating selection-based and feature-based hole tables. Clear the check box to exclude countersunk hole features when adding holes or creating a selection-based or feature-based hole table, and when creating new view-based hole tables. Makes edges of countersunk hole features unselectable after you add holes or create selection-based or feature-based hole tables.
