Yes you can... I'm sure of it - but you'll have to give us more information to say for sure and exactly how to accomplish this.

suppose you want to annotate coordinates of multiple holes on a plate according to a ref point. (x,y) format is very handy for performing manual machining or manual nc code programming. below pic is an example approch in catia:

Now that makes it a whole lot easier to discuss.

I can see doing this in a manual way by loading the table with dimensions and relations. They will remain associative. As long as the dimension style stays simple like this (no dual dims or special tolerance display) this is more than achievable.

I would like to know from people who do this on a regular basis to post with regard to this. I am certain I don't know the -easiest- way to accomplish this.

Please confirm what you have access to. Are you making the model, or just creating the drawings? Ideally, this is a native Pro/E-WF-Creo model and you have access or input to the modeling process.
