Generating Hole Charts

Hi all,

Is there anyway that we can generate a fairly comprehensive Hole Chart in Pro/E. We basically are able to list all the "regular" holes with the X,Y coordinates and feature parameters if any, and that's about it. Pro/E hole chart doesn't seem to recognize the holes and taps created by UDF-s; and for creating most of the standard features we use UDF-s. So, what we do rightnow is to generate a drawing, convert it over to AutoCAD and use the AutoCAD to generate the hole chart (yeah, I know, that's a shame!). But I do believe that there must be a way in Pro/E that we haven't explored yet (we are fairly new to Pro/E).

What we would like to see in a hole chart is, all the holes, including the ones from UDF-s, with X,Y coordinates from a zero, with a standard grouping (like all 3/8 taps, all 1/2 jack screw holes, all 5/8 counter bores etc.,), to which we can add a description (eg: 5/8 C'bores, 1" Deep), and all the holes in the drawing labelled correspondingly (eg: 3/8 Taps-A1,A2,A3 5/8 c'bores D1,D2,D3 etc.,)

Is this something too much to ask for from Pro/E? How all you experts are handling this?
We are using WF2.0, M110.

Any suggestion or help is greatly appreciated. Have a great week folks.

Thanks.
