NOTE: Setting any of the following hole table values means that new holes tables added to the drawing use these default values. However, a hole table that uses a template table for insertion might not use these default values because the template table contains certain properties that take precedence over these default values. These properties include the tag style, precision values, combine tag, combine same size, and hole centers visible values.

Specifies the detailing standard to use for displaying the hole table's origin symbol

If you specify -1 or 0, then the origin symbol is displayed according to the default document detailing standard; otherwise, the value is from swDetailingStandard_e and the hole table's origin is displayed according to that standard

When setting this value, any existing hole tables in the drawing are updated to use this dimensioning standard

To determine the default document detailing standard, get the value of the document's integer user preference swDetailingDimensionStardard
