The hole table has a column named description, but in that column i want to change the defaults for the thread, i don't need the thread class, for example.
I can add or remove thread properties to the table, but i don't want to, i want to use the general Description column, which describes not only threads.
Why the hole chart has commas instead of decimal points I don't know but how to change them?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've got a template with a set of Object defaults for an Inch drawing and a set for a Metric drawing. I've just noticed that within my metric set, if I insert a hole table with tapped holes, the font on the tapped holes doesn't match the other hole types. I'm searched around, but all the settings for the hole table style reference the same text style. (Please see the attached image.)
So is there a way to set a certain hole type to have a certain font or size within a hole table? Because if there is, I'd obviously like to remove it..... But I can't seem to figure out where the issue is.
I have had this problem intermittently for a few weeks since going to Inventor 2013 SP1.1. I have a part within an assembly and that part has holes created in it before assembling it with other parts. Now when I try and create a hole table in a drawing of the assembly I cannot select hole edges and the hole table is blank when trying to create it automatically from view selection. I originally thought it may be an alignment issue but I have since aligned everything correctly and it still persists. I can create the hole table if I import in just the part into the drawing but it will not allow me to create the table on the whole assembly.
I can also create the hole table if I use "centred pattern" and create cross hairs on all of the holes however it does not give me correct annotations for the holes as shown in attachment and I can manually change the annotations but seriously this should not be required. As shown in the screen shot it reads as A1 down to K1 instead of A1 to A10. .
i use hole feature names in hole table.
i assign hole names attribute to hole feature but dont get attribute hole table.
how to get hole names in hole table.
I have a part where I have placed a number of table driven iFeatures. These features generate parameters in the model that I can see in the parameter table. I am trying to find a way to have these iFeature parameters show up in the hole table in my drawing.
By 'exporting' the parameters, I have been able to get the values to show in notes and drawing view labels but I can't find a way to add them as a 'New Property' in my hole table.
I have a drawing of a sheet metal part that I did late last year. I used a Hole Table to dimension all the holes.
Fastforward to today. I added two holes that are different in size than any other hole. So when I opened the drawing it automatically added them to the Hole Table and gave them tag #'s in a new group and it kept the grouping in Alpha order. A, B, C were there before and it added D. Great, that's the way to do it.
Then I decided I needed to change the hole size. The change would keep the size different than any other hole on the part still. I go into the drawing and it change the size in the Table BUT, it also moved them up to the top of the list but kept the tag # as D*.
How do I get those two entries back to the bottom where they belong to keep them in order?
Is there a way in the description field of an Inventor hole table to have mixed units? Some hole sizes at fractions, some at 2 plc, and others at 3 places.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have created an iPart which uses the Hole Feature (counterbore hole). The hole is not threaded. Is there a way to put the Hole Feature into the iPart table so when a user enters specific values, he/she could type in or select a bolt size and the counter bore hole feature will use the correct dimensions for said bolt size (ie. I would like the counterbore holes for an M6 Socket Head Cap Screw. So instead of typing in the counterbore hole diameter, depth, and bolt diameter, etc... it would automatically enter the default values.) Or is this something that must use iLogic?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to create a hole table for a part. I would like the origin to be at the center of the part. Problem is there is not a round hole at that location. Attached is a similar part. The one that I am doing is much larger and has many more holes... this is just an example.
How can I pick this as the origin of my hole table?
Is it possible to add notes for each hole in a hole table?
I want to add for each hole in a hole table its true position value that I decided (instead of creating feature control frame for each hole).
I need to make the hole table origin symbol bigger to stand out on the drawing I am doing, I've looked around but can't see how to modify it's size, how to change it's size ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a sheet metal part which has several holes in, from which I have created a hole table. The hole table does not list all the holes in my part as I am only permitted to to select holes on one face of the part in the selected view. I have tried selecting all holes on the Isometric view however I cannt do this either.

Yesterday I tried to make a table-driven I-feature of a few drilling paterns.
I want to use this for drawing steel manifolds. The I-feature is used to insert standard drilling paterns, for example a patern to fit a standard flange.
The only problem is, for the thread I used the thread feature, otherwise it doesn't show up in the I-feature.
But when I make a drawing of a part were this I-feature is used, the specification of the thread doesn't show up when I create a hole table, because in the I-feature, the thread is a separate feature.
I have a .stp file that I am trying to dimension on a drawing. There are about 100 or so lightening pockets that are all the same basic shape (a rectangle with a full round on the ends). As of now I have been manually making a table for each location. Is there a way to create something like a hole table to automatically capture the locations of the pockets and create a corresponding table? I know I can create a centermrk on the round portions to use with a hole table but I want to dimension from the center of the pockets for the table.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI figured out how to change the precision of the X-Y location dimensions in a hole table, but is there a way to turn off trailing zeros? I have turned them off in my styles, but for some reason the styles don't effect hole tables. Maybe I just don't know where to look?

What is the best way to get a hole table on a converted SW file. Our Engineers use Solid works and I can easily import the file but when I try to create the hole table in the IDW file it comes up blank.
Do I need to recreate all the holes so they are native to Inventor? or I am missing a conversion setting.

View 1 Replies View RelatedTrying to get the tolerance on a hole to be what I want. I changed the tolerance on the hole, but my idw did not change. When I went back and looked at the tolerance on the hole, it was back to the original value. No matter what I do, it will not change to what I want it to be in the part. Here is a short video.
The dimension I am changing is .9688 and it keeps jumping back to .9686 when I go back into the hole tolerance.
Tried other values too and they would not take either...

Using 2013 sp1.1...After I change the hole size in the part, the callout in my hole note does not update. (crazy, I know).
If I pull a new hole note after the change, it has the correct dimension. But, if I change the hole size again, this new hole note does not update.I put the part on a new idw and it updates correctly, so somehow the idw is hosed.
I am trying to add a hole to an existing hole chart. I drop the part into a new drawing, set the ordinate "zero", and add a hole chart by selecting a few holes. When I attempt to edit the chart: click chart, right click "edit", click add hole, select new holes, right click to create, the "create" selection is greyed out and all I have to choose from is cancel. I searched the forum here but could not find a reference to this a know issue. Am I doing something wrong or is this a glitch of 2013.
We are running win7 x64 machines and this happens on both the 2013 Ultimate and Premium editions of the product.
Question: Is it possible to control the Hole Dimensions called out on the Hole Chart? As in controling leading/trailing zeros for main hole dim, alt home dim and tolerances? Can you combine the Main Dim with the Alt dim in a single column, separated with parentheses? (same with tolerance?)
