Design Table and Hole Wizard Data

[gcaldwell1]

Is there a fairly simple way to reference Hole Wizard Data from a Design Table. The problem is that I have a part with many configurations. Some of these configurations have different hole properties (thread, depth, etc.). When I create a new configuration and change the hole size, it remains that constant hole size across all configs. Basically, when I change a hole size/type in one config, the hole size/type changes across all configs. So I guess my question is two-fold. How can I (either manually or automatically) keep distinct hole data for each separate config? And can I do this from a design table?

The simplest way might be to add the different size holes where you need them & use the DT to suppress/unsupress them.

You can change the hole parameters, but the description in the FM tree would not reflect the actual size in the configs.

Is it not possible to change the description/properties in the FM tree using a design table?

Not with a DT, but the naming of the feature is probably not an issue anyway. The feature & it's pattern could be manually named according to it's function rather than it's size.
e.g. Flange Mounting Hole rather than 1/4"-20 Tapped Hole.
