What we really need here, to have a perfect inspection tool, is to be able to:

  • Get the hole feature in the model, that this hole is representing
  • Gather the necessary data from it, like:
    • simple hole, clearance hole, tapped hole, or taper tapped hole
      • if clearance hole:  there may be references to 'fastener data'
      • if tapped or taper tapped:  there may be references to 'thread data'
    • no seat, couterbore, spotface, or countersink
      • if counterbore or spotface:  there may be icons and references to the sizes
      • if coutersink:  there may be icons and references to the sizes/angles
  • Use that data to determine which scenario we are dealing with
  •  
  • Search within the DimensionStyle of this hole note for what the 'default' note contents for this scenario should be.
    • If that were possible.  I don't think it is.
    • There is probably an XML file (or 'styxml' or other type of file) where these defaults are stored.
  • Then compare this hole note's FormattedText to what the default should be

The only thing I can find within the DimensionStyle by code that sounds any thing like what we're looking for, is the 'DimensionStyle.HoleNoteDualFormat'.  But this won't help us any.
