Hole table: select multiple holes at once and then override X/Y precision

Hole table: select multiple holes at once and then override X/Y precision

Currently on hole tables, the precision of X and Y dimensions is set the the style.  

For example, every single hole has an X/Y precision of .xxx

 

Let's say my table has 20 holes, and I want 10 of the holes to have an X/Y precision of .xx instead of .xxx

Currently I can only change these individually, and it takes 3 clicks per value.  

2 Values per hole x 10 holes x 3 clicks = 60 clicks.

 

If I could multi-select all the values, and then apply a precision to all of them, those 60 clicks could become only 22.

 

Better yet, I'd like the ability to apply a precision to an entire group of similar holes.  That would take 60 clicks down to around 3.

Great suggestion Brad,

 

Have myself lost a lot of time in the past doing this.

 

Good luck with getting this implemented.

 

Take care,

Adrian

Hi @asiu and @brad,

 

Hole tables definitely need some work. Head here and give this guy an upvote: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideas/hole-tables/idi-p/5553918

I support this improvement as well. I spend a lot of time getting a hole table to show the right information, tolerances as well as repeated comments and annotations.
