Dimension Association With SAE Ports

[BodyBagger]

Hello all,
We use the SAE ports in the Design Library on a great deal of parts. Is there a way to have the dimension call-out automatically call the SAE port info? Also, is there a way to have the port info callout update on the drawing automatically if I change the SAE port size on the part model? It would even be ok if there is a way for us to tell solidworks to use our specific dimension callout info everytime we use the SAE ports. Maybe something like a custom property for a feature. I hope I am not missing something simple here but, I will ready the idiot cap

Suggestions welcome.

Giving this a bit of thought, could you not add Annotations to the Design Library features of the call-out you desire? I haven't used them before, but might work for you considering what SW Help has to say:

Annotations behave like dimensions in each type of SolidWorks document. You can add annotations in a part or assembly document, then insert them into drawings using annotation views or the Model Items PropertyManager, or you can create annotations in the drawing.

Hi Mango,
I will give it a try and report back on the results.
