This may have been asked before (maybe even by me) but does anyone know how to add a view to an existing hole table?

Hole Tables are a per view type thing. Edit2: I was wrong. See below.


If you have second view, then you would need to create a new hole table.
edit:

If you copy and paste a view, it also automagically pastes a new hole table as well. (at least in SW 2022, anyway)

This is a table generated from 2 views (starting with Drawing View1).
It only lists in the main view of the Feature Manager?
I would like to add the holes from Drawing View3.
The only way I have found is creating a new hole table from scratch.

huh. I have tried selecting edges from other view and it won't accept the selection.

Maybe it is because I used a copied view in my experiment. Hrmm.

AHA! There it is:

Thank you for proving me wrong!

This option is available only during table insertion. It allows you to set the Datum and Holes for another drawing view. One hole table can include several drawing views. The hole table is added with one datum for each view. The labels are the same across all views.
