Question

Hole Chart for Drawings - Hole Designation dissappeared - Creo 10

Hi have quite the extensive Hole chart that fills 2 sheets in my Creo 10 Drawing.

All was going well until I noticed I lost my Hole Designations that tells me in the hole chart its dimensions.

I have had one other person have the same experience.

Anyone know how to get them back?

Please post a screenshot of your hole chart headers (fields) and a few data.

 

Personally, I do not use Hole-Charts as I find them meaningless with CNC machining. Use them to merely designate the holes as A, B, C etc.

Hole charts are unidirectional. Meaning, if you add a hole or delete a hole from the model, the hole chart has to be created again.

Hence, I prefer to give an Ordinate dimension for the holes and specify say e.g. Dia 20 H7 THRU for holes Marked A/B/C etc.

Hope I have understood the question correctly.

    Yup,
    I had 535 holes along a plane that was pyramid shaped so this hole pattern just help me get by my drawing requirements
    but, its a very sensitive chart.
    Designations will change font size every time you touch something and your designator location is not ideal a lot of the time.
    In this case the covers would actually be used to locate the holes by match drilling.
