Table Template
Click Browse for template

This option

with the software add columns to the default format. They are located
at: install_dir\lang\english.
The standard templates (standard hole
table--letters.sldholtbt and standard
hole table--numbers.sldholtbt) create TAG, XLOC,
YLOC, and SIZE columns.
One template uses letter tags, and the other uses number tags. All sizes
and tags are listed separately, with none combined.
The combined hole table templates
create TAG, XLOC,
YLOC, and SIZE
columns. They vary by combining like sizes or tags with letter or number
tags. The templates are:
hole
table--sizes combined--letters.sldholtbt
hole
table--sizes combined--numbers.sldholtbt
hole
table--tags combined--letters.sldholtbt

table--tags combined-numbers.sldholtbt

With alphanumeric tags, the letter prefix designates a specific hole size
and the number designates an instance. Use Start
at to specify a beginning letter or number.
The corresponding notes in the
view change with the table.
