Hole status in CADMATIC Hull

Hull designers can specify hole status in an attribute whose value can be As cutting hole, As marked hole, or As indication.

Hull designers can use another attribute to designate whether or not they approve the hole. This attribute does not affect the hole status in Outfitting.

Hull designers can lock a hole so that it cannot be edited in Outfitting. This attribute does not affect the hole status in Outfitting, but prevents the Outfitting designer from checking out the hole.

All these attributes can be queried with the Outfitting Hole Manager (see Querying holes) and showed in listings (see Hole List).
