Hello,

I have browsed through all the information on setting up custom .hol files for Pro/E and finally got it setup like I like it - I think.

My problem is that it seems that the hole note is stored in the feature so holes created with the original .hol file are not updated. I would have to delete the hole and add it again to get the updated hole notes. Is there a way to update all past holes?

In the folder tree, show annotations. Select one of your new hole notes & Edit it - you will be able to save the note in a directory (note text directory if setup).
You can then replace the notes for the old holes with the new version.
 
So, I think I'm a little closer to getting what I want. I was able to show the annotations and edit the hole note.

Do I need to edit each hole note for every part?

Also, the hole callout format that I have in my .hol file works for tapped holes, but for C-Bore holes, the callout needs to be different. How do I do that?
 
Yes, you need to edit the hole note for each part - I don't know if you can create a mapkey to do it.

You will need to create a note for the C-Bore holes & save it as above.

You may find it useful to create a directory for notes (if you haven't done so already - the config file option is pro_note_dir).
