Our CNC programmers have "STANDARD" tools in their machine.
I have all these "STANDARD" set up in my Hole Wizard.
They have asked me if there was a why to "mark" anything "NON-STANDARD" in a different color to flag them when a "NON-STANDARD" hole is used.
Is there a way to have "NON-STANDARD" Hole Wizard features/resulting surfaces automatically come in RED?

Re: HOLE SURFACE COLOR
You can have ALL holes (using hole wizard) come in as a specific color.
Or you can have ALL extrude cuts come in as a different specific color.
So one solution is that you can set the holes to a specific color and extrude cuts to a different color. Then make sure to make all non-standard holes with extrude cuts rather than hole wizard.

Re: HOLE SURFACE COLOR
A second option could be to create some hole wizard holes and save them as a library feature. I THINK library features save colors.
Then you can make sure to use the library features for those holes instead of a hole wizard hole.

Re: HOLE SURFACE COLOR
Hi Bryan,
Just an idea, you need to try it, you can check the hole diameters with solidwork api (macro). I think you can make the hole diameters other than the hole diameters you specify red.
