In any drawing which contains holes normally (written manually (2x) M12)   How can i make the number of holes should be automatically generated ?

Are these holes part of a pattern?

It is still manual, but you can add &p# (where # is the number of the pattern) and it will automatically update the number of holes if they change.

Hi @VB_11781241,

Thank you for your question. 

Your post has not yet received any response. I am replying to raise awareness. Hopefully, another community member will be able to help.
Also, feel free to add any additional information you think might be relevant. You could add the below data - 
 

  1. Software Version: Which version of Creo are you using?
  2. Desired Outcome: What exactly do they want to achieve?
  3. Steps Taken: Have they tried any methods or settings within the software to achieve this? If so, what were the results?

It sometimes helps to have screenshots to better understand what you are trying to do.
