Hole table tags 1

[ctopher]

How do I change the hole table tags? The options are numeric or alpha, but I get both (A1, A2, etc). If I re-insert the hole table, it starts over but with B1, B2, etc.
I don't see a setting anywhere to change this.
Thanks.

Does the Scheme > Combine Same Tags option not do what you need?

CBL,
Thanks, but no. It changes them to all to the same tags "B".
I'm not sure why there isn't a setting to tell it to start with whichever tag I want.

Can you post an image/sketch of what you are trying to achieve?

Yes...

Do you not have the "Start at" option?

 

[CorBlimeyLimey]

Oops ...

 

[ctopher]

No, I don't.
Still on 2010. Is it new for 2011?

I didn't think it was, and I couldn't see anything in the "What's New" files.

This Help page for SW2011 mentions the Start at option

http://help.solidworks.com/2011/Eng...orks/Detailing/HIDD_DVE_HOLETABLE_COMMAND.htm

...but the the equivalent SW2010 page doesn't.

So I guess it's new for SW2011.


Have you tried deleting and re-inserting the table?

 

[ctopher]

Thanks.
Yes, I tried deleting and re-inserting. It comes in the next time starting at the next letter tag. It doesn't give an option not to, or change to another letter.

What letter is used after the table is deleted, the drawing saved and closed, and a new session of SW is started?

 

[ctopher]

It changes to the next alpha-numeric each time.
First time A1, then B1, then C1, etc.

Time to upgrade!

This thread states the workaround was to start a new Hole table

CBL,
Thank you.
I have to wait for our parent company to upgrade. Should be very soon.
