Dowel Pin auto placement

[rnewcomb]

Looking to place a dowel pin in multiple holes and want to have it place them all at once instead of one pin at a time.

[rnewcomb]

Or even a way to copy multiple or constrain multiple or something that would help not having to place one pin at a time, There's gotta be something, come on this is version 2014

This is how "autodesk" thinks it should be done..

This is the functionality Autodesk should have added years ago.. Its WELL worth the $25.00

I cannot figure out how to multiple place dowels, but it will bolts. How stupid, such a simple thing that should be simple and not so time consuming. UGH!!

Yep.. I don't know why they didn't make it as simple as that kwiksert addin thats been around for YEARS and just works perfect.

I suggested a while back they add the kwiksert functionality to the constrain tool. Its just stupid IMO to force us to have to use content center to place multiple components quickly like that.

Please post this request in the Ideas station as this is a product limitation at this time. Hopefully others will want the functionality and this will get tractions from here.
