Does Autocad Inventor 2011 have a macro recorder?

maybe you want to explain what you are trying to do.. There is typically another way to provide similar functionality.
 
mcgyvr,
I would love to explain what I am trying to do.
I inserted a Hole Table with 28 holes in one view. The XDIM and YDIM all come in as 2 place decimals, for hole locations our standard tolerance is 3 place decimals.
Here is what I have to do on just one drawing 56 times.
1. In the graphics window, click to select the hole table.
2. (RMC) Right Mouse Click a XDIM or YDIM cell in the hole table,
3. Then select Precision.
4. Select a Precision from the list. The table updates with the new value.
I have called tech support and they are working on the problem. There is not a setting to be found yet.

You are going to love me.. and whom ever you talked to at Autodesk is also unaware as this is very tough to figure out unless you were that idiot programmer who hid the settings.

Go into your styles editor.
Select your hole table.
Right click on the XDIM in the default column setting section and choose Format column
Change the precision.
Repeat for YDIM

A very big star for you. Works great. I can not thank you enough. Our VAR still has not gotten back to me on this one. I am going to wait it out, see what the VAR says, or maybe not.
