Please check if you have calloutformat.txt located in <install_dir>\solidworks\lang\<language>

Re: Hole callout qty not displaying
I do have that file and I double checked to make sure Solidworks was looking to the correct file location.

Re: Hole callout qty not displaying
Dennis,,, Are you using the Hole Wizard to make your holes?.. The screenshot below has identical size holes. The top five are cut-extrudes and the lower 6 are Hole Wizard holes.

Re: Hole callout qty not displaying
I'm wondering if perhaps somewhere along the line someone has removed the <NUM_INST> from the dimension text and it stuck for new callouts??? Just a guess.. If you click on Callout Variables do you get "Count".. If so try clicking on it or just type it into Dimension Text.

Re: Hole callout qty not displaying
So what I have discovered is that the parts the quantity are not displaying for are parts of a weldment that have been inserted in to new parts, then had drawings made. The holes were added in the original model. If I insert the body in to a new part THEN add the holes, the quantity shows up in the drawing. Not sure why that is or how to get around the issue...

Re: Hole callout qty not displaying
So why do you not model part as one weldment instead of inserting parts? (At least where I work) when a part is inserted, it has it's own part number and drawing.

Re: Hole callout qty not displaying
I'm just modeling from the top down. Start as one weldment and then break out subassemblies and so forth as needed. Just leaves one model to make changes to. Just seems hole callout info does not transfer to the new parts.
