Default note for holes

How do I change the note which is going to be displayed in the drawing and which tells me what kind of a hole there is.
For example when i create a hole with a thread(M10), the annotation which will display in the drawing will look like this:
M10x1.5 ISO - H TAP * 1.800
8.5 Drill(8.500)* 20.000 - (4)Hole

How do I change this note so it defaulty displays me diferently.
Thank you for help.

Hi bob,
Display your note in drawing using show/erase notes. Select Edit>Value and select the note. Here you can change anything as per your requirement.


Regards,
 
the other option you can try is to edit the .hol file. This is the file that determines the hole size and note formatting. I haven't had much luck with it but feel free to try. Just make sure that you back up your original .hol files.
