2D drawing questions - mostly dimensioning radial holes

[GeneT45]

Hello all,

I've been trying to up my game in Alibre lately (I'm running Pro v28) and my weakest area is in 2D drawings, which I've ignored for too long...

Referencing the attached snip, I cannot get a hole callout on the radial holes you see that are 45* apart. They were created with the hole tool, but callouts aren't generated by selecting callouts in the view selector, nor is there an option available when I select them individually.

My ideal answer would be a way to get the auto-generated (i.e. model-linked) callout. Barring that, is there a way to create an identical (in appearance) callout manually?

A second question is can you place a secondary view (section view, detail view, etc) on a sheet other than the sheet with the parent view?

TIA,

GsT

You could create an auxiliary view off one of the holes and add the callout in it...

RMB click on the view you want to move and select Move to Sheet... from the pop up menu.
