Hole Table XDIM YDIM Edit Text

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have created a hole table with the following columns:

I would like to turn off or delete or edit the text of some (not all) of the XDIM YDIM values in order to denote them as reference dimensions. I do not want to get rid of the hole all together though.

 

For example, if I wanted to denote the locating dimension of hole A1 the row would ideally look like this:

How would I do something like that?

Thanks.

Why use a hole table at all then?

But no there is no option for static text for some of the holes in a hole table..

For whatever reason you want to do this.. I would just not include those in the table..

You could remove the X & Y columns from the Hole Table, You really don't have many options to suppress or hide.

I only want a few holes to be referenced on the drawing. I have about 70 other holes that I would like in the table. For example, I have 8 A-holes that need to be referenced on the drawing and two other A-holes that can appear in the hole table.

I am hoping to avoid ordinate dimensioning, but that's where I will probably end up if this can't be done. Thank you both for your replies.

You can add a Hole Table and select only the holes you want included in the table. The other holes can then be dimensioned by other means.

How about an additional Comments column and write 'REFERENCE ONLY' for those holes?

This is the solution that I have settled on for the time being. Thank you all very much for your help.
