In the past, after I created a hole wtih the Hole Wizard, Irenamed it in the feature tree, so that I would know what the holewas for. Some of our plates have 10's of objects attached, so itcan get very confusing to see all those holes and not know whatthey go with if they were not named.
However, I realized that the act of renaming them causes them toloose the ability to update the size description. Thus, if you hada 1/4" hole that you edited to say, "1/4 Clearance Hole1-ForCylinder" and later changed it to a 1/2" hole, the descriptionwould still say 1/4".
I know I can add comments to the part directly on the graphicsscreen, but I find that they quickly become useless because you endup looking at a zillion comments in assemblies if you turn thecomments on.
Any other strategies to label holes, but keep the descriptionassociative with the hole size?
