Drill point angle in hole notes

[Anonymous]

Hello fellow Inventor users,

First up, i'm using Inventor 2017 SP4.2

I'd like to have the Drill point angle in the hole notes format, unfortunately i couldn't find a variable related to the drill point angle.

Is there a variable for this, that is just not available through buttons?

Or is there any other way to get the angle into the hole notes without adding it manually?

If not, is this feature present in newer versions of Inventor or is it a upcoming feature in future versions?

Many thanks in advance

There doesn't seem to be a <Formula> for the drill tip angle but it is a parameter stored for the part that you could access with a leader or text added to the hole leader (right click on leader after placement and select text)

Not really what I was looking for, but it will do for the time being.

I still hope they'll implement a proper <Formula> in future versions.

Thanks

Hoping won't make it happen-- add it to the Inventor Ideas forum, then come back to this forum and start advocating for votes for that idea. 

It's possible that there is already an idea in the ideas forum concerning this, but a quick search for "drill point" didn't find one.  If nobody has been asking for it, it won't magically appear in the product.
