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. Very frustrating problem.
Hi,
Can you please send us the relevant model and the drawing file to troubleshoot further.
Make sure the "holes" were created with the hole tool and not simply extruded circles.

Yes they are holes thanks Mike.
Good call though; as this is something I had initially overlooked when having previous issues.
Sorry Michael for the delay. I couldn't able to open up the file as there are unresolved references. Can you able to do a packngo of the dataset and send it to me. I will create a secure FTP to upload the files for investigation.
Looking forward to your reply.
Thank you for submitting your question in our discussion forums.
The issue that you describe has been reported by other customers to Autodesk and is being researched by our development team.
I will keep you posted on the updates soon.
Has a solution been found for this problem? I am having the same problem. I can bring a part in and generate a hole table no problem but when I try to do so with an assembly the hole table will not let me select any of the holes. This is potentially a serious problem that could cause us alot of headache if it is not resolved, so any help would be appreciated.
