Can hole table labels be reordered? I don't use them too often and I'm revising an old hand drawing, redrawing it in Solidworks. The original print has a hole table as well with 128 holes. As this is a redraw, I would like to have the holes in the same order as on the old print, otherwise I have to document every changed hole on my ECN (or ECO, depending on what your company calls them). I was hoping that if I selected the holes for the table in the order I wanted, that Solidworks would respect my wishes, and label them in that order, but alas - Solidworks listened to me about as well as my 3 year old and did what it wanted to anyway. lol
I reaaalllly don't want to spend a half hour on the ECN stating "hole 35 was
26, hole 17 was 92", etc, etc...in addition to the confusion it would create to those reading it.
Also, has anyone else seen a little quirk with regards to the table, that if you choose the option to "combine same size" it looks great and is what I want, but when I add a tolerance to the common hole size, it breaks it back apart and won't combine it again. I have 36 holes the same size and like the combine feature as it looks clean, and I figured I could just add one tolerance to the hole size. As soon as I did, it broke apart making me add the same tolerance to all 36 holes. This wastes time and could open it up to possible errors. (ie: fat fingered typos )
Anyway, thanks in advance for any info...
