I would like to customize my default hole callouts.  I havelooked into modifying the calloutformat.txt file but the things Iwant to change do not appear in there.

Here is the deal.  When you do a hole callout on a holepattern, the number of holes always appears as the first item. I want to move it to the end and I want to put () around it. This <NUM_INST> variable doesn't appear in thecalloutformat file.  Where is it?  Can I modify where itappears in the callout?

Secondly, when you have a thru hole the callout comes up as 'THRUALL'.  I just want it to say 'THRU'.  This variable is<hw_thru> and again, it doesn't appear to be in thecalloutformat file.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and information.
