The Drill Symbol Configurations dialog
Summary
The Drill Symbol Configurations dialog presents a tabular view of PCB hole data with hole styles grouped on a selectable parameter (column data) basis and assigned standard symbols for a Draftsman document. The dialog's hole data table provides a flexible approach to assigning holes styles to Drill Drawing symbols, along with setting the symbol display graphics and sizes.
Access
The dialog is accessed by clicking the Drill Symbols button in the Properties section of the Properties panel in Drill Table mode (select a Drill Table in the Draftsman editor design space) or Drill Drawing View mode (select a Drill Drawing View in the Draftsman editor design space).
Options/Controls

As further grouping options are selected, the symbol assignment will differentiate the additional criteria by creating a finer grouping scheme.
