Hole Callouts on Promoted Bodies

Is there some issue with hole callouts on promoted bodies that I'm not aware of? I've got a couple of metric hole patterns on a promoted body (casting to machine) and using radial dim > hole callout, none of the hole features are selectable.

Also, feature parameters has been really hit or miss with this assembly. Initially, it was able to grab some thread data, but after removing and replacing to get a format I liked better, they sometimes show just an arrowhead or nothing at all.

So, with hole callout not working & feature parameters choking on itself, i'm at a loss.

I don't believe the hole data, ie the data for on the drawing, comes along with the wave link. I'm pretty sure myself, or someone turned in an ER on that. I'd suggest you do the same.

I vaguely remember a thread where the user could not get the hole callout to work on the patterned holes, it would only work on the "original". I think it was a limitation of the hole callout command at the time (might still be).

Make sure that all the parts involved are fully loaded; I can't guarantee that will solve the issue, but it certainly won't hurt.

I was able to finally get some of the data to come through. Don't ask me how, because the process was really buggy.

For one of the blind threaded holes, feature parameters spit out two leaders. One for the thread (M6 X 1), and one for the feature count (2X).

Is there a way to tell feature parameters what information to display? There was no depth data at all for the thread. And does anyone know why was the pattern count ended up on a separate leader?
