      <description>&lt;P&gt;apply to cylinders had no effect.&amp;nbsp; The centerline is on the XY plate (see attachment).&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm betting it may have to do with these settings (within the AutomatedCenterlineSettings):&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;CircularEdgeMaximumThreshold&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;CircularEdgeMinimumThreshold&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We don't normally need to use those settings, but this may be what they are there for.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/7812054"&gt;@WCrihfield&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; these setting are used for radiuses.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The problem is the hole definition on a cylindrical surface.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Probably inventor has difficulties to recognize the hole. I think you need to add the centerline in a different way, because automated centerlines won't give the required one.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;i created a little part as test, and when i use a small flat face it generate centerlines.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="theobot_0-1637253715888.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/991226i9F99EFB3C871915D/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="theobot_0-1637253715888.png" alt="theobot_0-1637253715888.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Maybe an idea for the idea station to add support for holes on cylindrical faces.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Your absolutely correct.&amp;nbsp; I changed it to a projected view and it recognized the vertical holes but not the horizontal holes.&amp;nbsp; I'll just create them manually, but it would be nice if this was fixed.&amp;nbsp; thanks for the replys.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yep.&amp;nbsp; I did the same just after posting.&amp;nbsp; Created a similar model, created the drawing with 5 views, one of which was a section view sliced down the center.&amp;nbsp; No matter how I set every possible setting, it would not put the center lines in every location I wanted.&amp;nbsp; This all seems very familiar too, like I've dealt with it before sometime, but I can't find where or how right now.&amp;nbsp; I have even created centerlines/centermarks on rectangular punch features in drawing views of parts before, but that was something planned for, not for general use.&amp;nbsp; We would most likely have to do a bit of a deep dive into the view's geometry objects, checking what features made them, then maybe using centerline bisector's or similar.&amp;nbsp; That seems a bit too inefficient though for most cases.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
