nx8.5 Drafting create hole table problem

[Ehaviv]

Hi
When I create a hole table the holes marks go to their
locations on the view but the table locate itself on
A plane perpendicular to the sheet plane without asked
me were to locate it. What's wrong ? .

NX version ?

Before the table go to a perpendiculre to sheet plane it shown correct for a mili second of time
and then go and all I see is a green line instead of a table.

also I do not need all the holes in the view so when I choose window selection
It refuse to let me select holes no by drag a window and no by single selection.

Atouched my example.

Thanks in advanced.

I wasn't sure if what i remembered was correct until i looked at your example.
but yes, my memory was correct. The Hole table is a pre-release feature in NX8.5
One needs to set the UGII_DRAFTING_HOLE_TABLE=1 system variable to use the hole table in NX 8.5

When a feature such as the hole table requires a system variable like this, it means that it isn't really ready for production yet.
- It has some deficiency which makes Siemens hold back the release until a later version of NX.

I played around with your parts, The problem might be the point you use for the "ordinate origin". That point is not related to the model but defined in the drafting part.
I don't think the table is perpendicular , rather it's empty and therefore looks like a line.
If I create a new drawing file and in that define a sketch in a similar view, create a point , it will create the table as expected.
I wonder if your drawing file is corrupted is some way.

My drawing , using your model, attached.

I tried your files in NX9.
The Hole table feature was released in NX9. ( no system variable required.)
It works as expected.

Thank you Tomas for your eforts to help me.

I also succeed to add a new hole table on your drawing as atouched but tow things
1 on your drawing I can not use the hole table window selection option.
2 when I create a new drawing and use the ordinate point as you did
I do not succeed to create a hole table.

Maybe some drawing settings are differ ?

Always the table shown correct instantly and then drawn as a single line.

I played around with this task and I found nothing.

Note that the table is not empty because

If I select the table by draging a window around the table(the single line) and right click
and select edit by spreadsheet I get the hole table as shown in this picture

 

[Ehaviv]

As I suspected some setting must be applied
for the hole table to operate correctly as in these pictures

These setting also make the "window selection" to opperate correctly

 

[Toost]

Good that you found the solution.
Is upgrading to V9 or later not an option ?
V8.5 is becoming an old version and the hole table wasn't fully released.
You might see other problems in the future.

I'll use these settings only when I need a hole table.
in other cases I'll use the exact view style.

Thank you Tomas for your help along this way.
