Angle Part Detail Issues
Hi,
From what I can see the dimensions are appearing as expected. The rules shown provided dimensions only to the "TV" (Top View). This means that only when you see the hole from the top (round) will it be dimensioned. A dimension style would need to be added or the existing one changed to include holes as shown from the side.
Currently
A rule to dimension the holes without this restriction or with a side restriction would need to be added if you want the holes seen from the side to be dimensioned as well. For example...
This rule could be added to the list to include holes seen from the side.
As to the hole diameter for standard size holes showing. Please verify these settings in the Management Tools -- >Defaults
This should function on all new drawings going forward and suppress the default hole size label from appearing.
Hi,
Further to @DMorton_Graitec_Mtl The bottom view clearly includes a horizontal dimension to the holes but not a vertical one. You are showing us the rules from the front view. The dimension request for a vertical dimension in there (likely similar in the bottom view) is referring to the system line but I can't see the system line in your view so it has nothing to dimension to.
Everything about Drawing Styles is inter-related and not easy to learn or fix in a couple of lines on email.
Equal Angles are a bit annoying because one leg is considered a Web and gets the Front View while the other leg is considered a Flange and would be shown in the top or bottom view. It is almost impossible to tell which is which when modelling. The out of the box drawing styles are all set up to expect most information in the Front View. This suits most I beams etc but is not always good for Angles.

As mentioned by Aleck, the current drawing style references the system line. If disabled the dimensions disappear. You need to create a rule that references the extents rather than the system line. In the images below I changed 1 setting from system line to extreme. Notice the difference.
Default drawing style rule for clip angle:
I changed just the one rule for expedience sake, you would be better to make a new rule or find one that already works this way.
Here, by using "Ref Extreme" instead of "Ref System" you will be grabbing both edges but you can delete the one you don't want manually from the drawing. Note I did not make new steps to this point or a new drawing style rule so just changing this setting may affect other drawing styles as well.
Firstly be VERY CAREFUL with this and backup your main folder.
This is my dimension setup for holes in parts.
Dim 1 mp holes only all points, dim 2 extreme size.
These are for the X direction but the Y is exactly the same.
Also these are for the top view but the front view dimensiong uses the same ones.
