What is your fastest method

[[Ni...]]

So after taking a Basic course and being trained at work, I am trying to find the best/fastest method to writing my programs with multiple holes of the same diameter.
If you don't mind, I was wondering what are your guys' methods

For example:
If I have multiple holes of the same size; lets say patterned in a 4x4 square
Each has a call out for diameter, x value, and y value; bubbled 1,2, and 3 respectively

What steps, after taking the measurement, do you take to get through them fastest?
(i.e. 1. turning on all the dimensions on one of the feature side 2. Using paintbrush on all the holes 3. Editing them on the characteristics side) ?

I apologize if this sounds confusing 😐

If you use the Pattern function in Calypso, you tend to lose control of individuality.

Creating the Features from Characteristics or Characteristics from Features with Paint Brush is probably one of the fastest ways to do it, but the names are likely not going to end up how you want.

A technique I use is as follows. Let's say I have a .250 Diameter hole with a balloon number of 3,

My feature would be Circle_3 - .250 Dia

My characteristic would be 3 - .250 Dia

If there were 3 .250 holes, it might look like this, This is great when copying and pasting like Features or Characteristics as Calypso automatically increments the number on the end.

Features
Circle_3 - .250 Dia_1
Circle_3 - .250 Dia_2
Circle_3 - .250 Dia_3

Characteristics
3 - .250 Dia_1
3 - .250 Dia_2
3 - .250 Dia_3


Since I cannot use the same name twice, this allows me to have names that are somewhat related. It also allows me to utilize copy and paste a lot. Leaving the feature type in the feature name, allows me to know what type a feature it is when I am looking at a long list of features in a selection window. i.e Plane_Datum A or Cylinder_Datum A

You'll eventually figure out a system that works for you.

For 3 diameters and a couple of characteristics? Paintbrush the strategy, filter, and characteristics. If you don't like the naming, CTRL+H.

I am trying to find a game plan for getting through these repetitive commands by looking into all of Calypso's custom settings and shortcuts.
I understand the paintbrush being a powerful tool and I will implement it into my method. I'm also looking into making a tolerance table to quicken tolerance typing.

The personal problem I'd like to make better, is when I paintbrush a large number of circles that have diameter, x, and y called out, on the characteristics side I need to change the name to the bubble number and letter (i.e. 3B). But when they are automatically sent to the characteristic side, they aren't in the order I want (so I have to look for them and then move them), and having to pay attention which I am renaming into what (i.e. "DIA 1.00_X Value" into "3B").
Using paintbrush in the characteristics side seems to be a possible solution I will try an implement.
