One of the most important features of SOLIDWORKS is the SOLIDWORKS Hole Table, which is used to create a list of holes in a part or assembly. When you create a part with a number of holes of varying sizes, you must locate the dimension, location and other details of each hole, which takes more time and requires you to repeat the steps. Instead, you can use the Hole table function to generate a table automatically. The Hole table displays the dimensions and location of each hole in a tabular format.
While working with the SOLIDWORKS you may get issues with the Hole table which will make you difficult to work with. In this blog, we will discuss Top two most common SOLIDWORKS Hole table issues and how to resolve them.
- Incorrect Hole Callouts: One of the most frequently occurring issue in SOLIDWORKS is incorrect Hole callouts (Hole callouts & Hole table are does not appear properly in drafting).
When SOLIDWORKS updated to a new version or due to running multiple versions simultaneously on the system, sometimes we observe that the hole details do not display correctly or may disappear. This occurs when the Hole callout format file and Hole Table Template location is routed to an incorrect path.
To fix this issue you can add or route the correct SOLIDWORKS version location. Go to File locations in the drop down menu, then go to Hole Callout Format file and Hole Table Template and make sure that the path as follows C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS Corp 20XX\SOLIDWORKS\lang\english.
2. Hole Table Not Updating: Another commonly observed scenario with the Hole Table in SOLIDWORKS is that, table does not update when changes are made to the model. To fix this issue, you need to make sure that the hole table is set to update automatically. You can also manually update the hole table by rebuilding the model.
Hole tables are an essential tool in SOLIDWORKS for creating lists of holes in drafting.
