Attaching a chase holes template to a dieboard

You can add a chase holes template to a dieboard either while you are adding a new dieboard to the dieboard database or while you are editing a dieboard's properties. For a chase hole template to be attached, it must already have been loaded to the list of available chase holes templates.

NOTE: The addition of a chase holes template to a dieboard can take place only when you edit the dieboard in the dieboard database. Adding a chase holes template to an already applied dieboard is not possible.
