Somewhere in everyone's Pro/e installation, there's a little setup file that defines the parameters and format contained in the standard hole note callout. I've edited it by picking the hole note and doing RMB 'Edit value' where you can add things like &csink_angle &csink_diam. But, I'd like to be able to do this for the "template". I just don't know where it's stored or what it's called. Anyone?

Hole files are in the /text/hole folder. The files have a .hol extension and they must be only 3 character names, unc.hol. There is a TPI on
I'm sure you're right, sure I've seen it somewhere, but after an hour of perusing the PTC KB, couldn't find it, much less, whether it was configurable. Everything seemed to be about hole charts, not the standard hole parameters.

This is how I've changed mine. I have added holes to the standard list and edited the hole note callout. The easiest way to explain it, hate to say, I got from ptc, you need an account to acess it. If you don't have one I can email the file to you. Gary Miglionico

Good stuff, exactly what I needed. I guess I never realized that the format was within the hole file itself, as the contents of a header parameter. Now I've got to see how this company did it. Or maybe, as always within Pro/e, there's some default, hardcoded, hole note format and none of these people know anything about it. Wouldn't surprise me in the least.
Thanks to all, David Janes
