I have noticed this previously, but have never brought it up. The hole callout has some "intelligence" to it, which is indicated by the RED letters in the Dialogue Box.
If you delete one of these red items so that the callout accurately reflects what you need to show on the drawing, that change apparently is only "saved" for the current session only.
Save the drawing.
Close it.
Open the drawing.
The Hole Callout automatically places this "intelligent" information back into the callout. In my example attached, I want the note to show that there are 18 of these holes. When I opened it back up, it put the 2 back in front of the "18" which I had entered manually. (Note, this is an assembly file, with Qty. 9 items, each with 2 holes (18 total). that is why it wants to show 2, instead of 18.)
Bottom Line... If you aren't paying VERY close attention to everything on the drawing, even if it is something that was not changed, it could easily result in an unclear or incorrect note on the drawing. This seems like a not-so-ideal way for it to operate/function?
