Hi all, I'm glad to be a part of the forums. I am new using macros in Catia, Im using Catia V5-6 R2012. I have done some easy macros to automatize some repetitive tasks as coloring a drawing, or making predefined pockets to a part...

*First of all, if anyone knows a thread with this problem feel free to show it, thanks :)

Basically what I want is an associated hole dimension table.
I can do it manually using 'attribute link' to a dimension (then I can hide the dimension :) ) or to the diameter of the hole(in 3d part). But this became hard when i have a big plate with a big amount of holes.
My first goal is to get the coordinate of the selected hole centre (in drafting) and set 2 cells of a table to those values. Those values must be linked to the generated view, so when I change the 3dpart hole position and update the drafting, the coordinate value should change automatically.
Does anyone know how to associate or link those coordinate values?

Thanks :)
