Is there a way to change the hole notes? Even the c'bore isn't shown in the note. The note in the feature is not editable This is just a clearance c'bore. Is there a default style that it might be able to customize to my liking?

This is one of the weaknesses in Creo. You have to do major surgery on the hole files (*.hol).

Since I use different standards which are client dependent, I find the default notes useless, and editing the hole files a waste of time. I try to use as many of the already provided parameters as I can, but for the most part, the provided note is useless. Just the "UNC - 2B" rather than "UNC-2B" drives me nuts. And yes, this too can be fixed. End of a paramter in a text string

If you have a company standard, it is worth investigation and locking it down as an IT managed standard configuration. You have to remember not to loose them during an upgrade.

Matt,

Click on the note, right click, then select Edit Value.

This will let you edit the sting of parameters that drive the note. You can rearrange them, delete them, or add your own text as you like.

    Thanks for the help... Being the only one that works with Creo, I chose to create new hole files for the threads & c'bores that I use. I've done this successfully so far, but would like to change the callout in my c'bore hole file to display in fractions instead of decimals.

    Is it possible to do this with just the c'bore hole file?

    Thanks,

    Matt

    If the entry in the table for the field is a string rather than a numeric value, it should be able to do accept fractional -representations-. By the same token, you should be able to neter drill size numbers such as "#39".
