Drill table Creation in allegro 17.2

Hello,

I am having a problem with creating a drill table in allegro 17.2. To create a drill table and put in the artwork area i have done as below.

Manufacture > Create Drill Table > Pressed Ok(changed nothing in this pop up)

Then I have a drill table shown in the artwork are and I have also put it into the artwork area. but after changing the view from the visibility panel, the drill table disappears.  

Help me with the same.

    My experience with drill tables are that if they are defined for separate layers, these new sub-classes gets created at time of instantiation and they might not be visible. They also gets created with same color, overlayed of each other. Try making all subclasses visible.

    FYI - Many of the folks I've worked did not realize the drill tables are created as a group, so to move one your must have the group option selected under filters. 

    Good luck

    Also - TIP: When you move the 'group' drill table, it will plop down in that exact same position the next time(s) you generate the drill table. Move it once and bam - done! Now, would someone tell Cadence to make the 'like' tolerance easier (e.g. instead of +.075 - .075, make it +/-.075!). Just a pet peeve of mine, but the amateur output looks crudy.

    Hmm, for me all i do to move the drill chart is this--- Just make sure you have "shapes" turned on in your find filter. Then just pick the outline of the drill chart and move it to a your new location. Next-- re-run "Create Drill Table" under the "Manufacturing" tab.  The table will be refreshed good as new in your new location. ---just another way of doing this.
