      <p class="para_topic">The Hole Report function automatically finds the holes in a referenced face, categorizes the holes based on the diameter and hole type, and calculates the location of each hole relative to the ordinate origin.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">Creating a hole report requires you to:</p>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Define the origin to be used for calculating coordinates.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Define a positive quadrant on the drawing.</p>
         </li>

            <p class="para_item">Select a location for the report.</p>
         </li>
      </ul>
      <p class="para_topic">The hole report function is part of the <b class="uiTerm">NX Drafting</b> application. In <b class="uiTerm">NX Drafting </b>, you can be in either the modeling state, with <b class="uiTerm">Display Drawing</b> turned off, or the drawing state, with <b class="uiTerm">Display Drawing</b> turned on. The Hole Report function automatically identifies the top-most face containing holes. If it doesn't find a top face with holes, it outputs an error message and terminates.
      </p>
      <div class="title_division">Defining an Ordinate Origin</div>
      <p class="para_division">When you click the <b class="uiTerm">Create Hole Report</b> button the <b class="uiTerm">Select Origin and View</b> dialog is displayed. This is the dialog that you will to define the ordinate origin and the view. To start, you select the object on which the you want to create the ordinate origin, then enter an origin name in the dialog box.  <b class="uiTerm">Hole Report</b> will create an origin (you can also select a preexisting origin. After the origin is defined,  you specify the positive direction for dimensioning. The ordinate origin divides the screen into quadrants, and on the <b class="uiTerm">Select Origin and View</b> dialog box, you specify the positive quadrants.
      </p>
      <div class="title_division">Select Origin and View Dialog</div>
      <p class="para_division">In this typical procedure, you define an origin for calculating the coordinates of holes on a die design object based on a 2D layout. The<b class="uiTerm"> Hole Report</b> function uses the ordinate origin for to lay out the views, , similar to the ordinate origin function in <b class="uiTerm"> NX Drafting</b>. For example:
