selecting holes

If I understand correctly I can only select sketches of holes. :(

If this is so this makes Visual Mill for Solid Works entirely useless.

In stand alone Visual Mill I pick the holes with a selection box and then sort them.

I regularly design parts that have tens to hundreds of holes and this is done using the hole wizard
so the thread information is picked up and used when I fill the holes with fasteners from SW toolbox
and then these fasteners go on to my parts lists.

these holes are mostly holes that have been patterned (circular and rectangular) .

Well selecting holes on a flat area with a specific size gets part way there

not being able to select patterned stuff is trouble some
