Hole Tables
Hole tables in drawings show the size and location of some or all of the hole
features in a model. Hole tables eliminate the need to add notations for each
hole feature in a model.
In addition to drilled, counterbored, and countersunk holes, you can add
center marks, iFeatures, holes in patterns, and extruded cuts to a hole table.
The format for hole tables is set in the hole table style. You can specify the
title, text style, heading, line format, default column settings, and the defaults
for row merging, hole tags, tag order, and view filter.
If you want to include extruded cuts and iFeatures in hole tables, edit the Hole
Table style and select them. Click Format ➤ Style and Standard Editor. In
the Hole Table style, click the Options tab. In the Default Filters (View) box,
select Circular Cuts and Centermarks.
General and Configuration Tables
Use the Table tool on the Drawing Annotation panel bar to add a general,
bend, or configuration table to a drawing. The Table style sets the default
format of tables.
You can create a general table with a default number of rows and columns,
or customize its size. The general table can reference external data from .xls,
.xlsx or .csv files or you can enter any other type of data you need.
General and configuration tables are versatile. You can sort data, export data
to an external file, change the table layout, add or remove rows, and change
the format of a row or column.
In drawings of iParts and iAssemblies, configuration table rows represent the
members of the factory. You can specify the columns to include in the
configuration table, such as exclusion status and values that are different
among members.
Parts Lists
To create a parts list in a drawing in Autodesk Inventor, use the Parts List tool.
Its default formatting is set in the Parts List style associated with the active
drafting standard.
