Hole callout configuration

    I'm using hole callouts for the first time and would like to configure the
    text different to the default.

    For example, on a through-hole, it displays "THRU ALL" where as I'd like it
    to say "THRO' ".
    The dimension property manager shows the variable as <hw-thru> but where is
    its definition stored?

    I have looked at the file "calloutformat.txt", but this seems to just show
    the sequence of variables for a given hole type, rather than the definitions
    of the variables themselves.

    I'm on SW2004.
    TIA

    Thanks Dale.
    It seems hard to believe there isn't some file that can be customised to
    change this behaviour - does no-one know if it can be done?

    Cheers,
    John

    I have never heard of a place/file that stores variable definitions in
    the way that you are talking about.

    This subject has been discussed often times. Do a search for Hole
    Callout (and maybe calloutformat and/or Hole Wizard) and take a look at
    all that comes up.

    Do
