Has anyone had any luck modifying hole wizard features and having the
changes reflected in the hole callout annotation?
I have been working on standardizing our hole callouts by making
derived tables from the existing standards and selecting only what we
need for hole wizard features. I have also changed the SWbrowser to
change description values of certain feature names. I would like to be
able to add features to the hole wizard sketch and name the dimensions
so that they show up in a drawing.
For example: I add a "Thru Hole Dia." dimension to a blind counterbore
sketch and I want this dimension to show up when a "hole callout" is
selected in a drawing. (<thruholedia>)
I'm not sure where SW hides the code to call variables from a hole
wizard feature, because it would also be nice to manipulate the NUM-
INST location.

Look for the following, make sure to back-up before revising. You can
put this file in a network location and create a path to it in the
system options.

C:\Program Files\SolidWorks\lang\english\calloutformat.txt

SW or somebody should build a GUI for editing the information. I just
don't fully understand why they have to use that kind of file format.

Markku,

Yes, they should create a nice GUI for updating the calloutformat.txt
file. It is very cryptic and can be a pain to make sure you have
updated every option.

We all need to put an enhancement request into SolidWorks for that.

Anna Wood
