	Sets the internal counter used for auto-numbering the user item column, to the value of the selected cell. When you add a new hole to the hole chart, this counter increments (until it arrives at a unique number). The number appears in the user item cell of the new hole. This button is available only when you select a cell in the user item column.

Multiple Hole Charts Contains options to group the selected holes by a filter criteria, and display each group in a separate hole chart. The hole charts thus created share the same origin.

A prompt enables you to place the hole chart in the drawing area and the hole chart populates automatically with the holes that not picked up by the other hole charts in the list. Note: If you use the Add Holes button on nested hole charts, they convert to normal hole charts. Individual origins are erased and the holes are relabeled relative to the origin of the nested hole chart.
