I have seen a couple of posts about not being able to select holes with the Radial Dimension > Hole Callout feature that I wasn't able to reply to, so here is what I have learned about that:

Things to check if a hole is not selectable:
[ul]
[li]Is the component Fully Loaded?
Not Fully Loaded: Right click the component in the Assembly Navigator and select Open > Component Fully​
[/li]
[li]Does that hole feature have a Caution icon on the check box in the Part Navigator?
If so, reattach the sketch in the hole feature to new faces/points in the work piece.​
[/li]
[/ul]
The only time this hasn't worked for me is when holes intersect other holes of the same type, then the Hole Callout tool will try to select the wrong hole

I hope this helps!
 
Thanks for the good tips.
The component not being fully loaded has caused me tons of frustrations.
