Is there a good (automated) technique for combining hole callouts for multiple groups of identical holes? For example, say I have 3 separate hole features (single or multiple holes each, whatever) in my part, all of which are #10 clearance holes with identical CB depths. To document those in a drawing I need to either place a callout for each feature or else manually override the count of one of the callouts. Obviously that can be a problem if the number of holes ever changes in the part and the hand-edited hole count is overlooked in the drawing.

I suppose it might be a complicated task for SW to automatically determine that different groups of holes are identical and are capable of being combined but if there was a way to manually combine multiple notes I think that would work well enough.
