Circular hole system line with dimension

Does anyone know if it is possible to create a circular system line going through all the holes in a flange plate including the diameter dimension, as indicated in the attached image.

Hi @Kélcyo 

 

As far as I can tell thats not possible, the system does show the holes as a group in a circular pattern but wont give you a system line for the pattern.

 

I would be worth adding to the idea station as I have seen some customers require system lines for a group of bolts even when the pattern is square. Could be a management default for circular and square paterns whether the system line for the pattern is shown?

Currently it is not possible to create automatic circular hole system line and dimension.

But if you set hole extreme dimension points setting in drawing style manager, possibly create automatic hole dimension.

Refer with below attached screen capture for you.hole extreme dimension.png

as @Rob_Merriman  wrote, I also think it's possible. 
If you really (and I mean "really") want it, you could use a small workaround:

  • use a round with a very small diameter and a special role (created by yourself) maybe  like "Systemline_Role"
  • create a polybeam which is on "systemline of the holes"
  • weld it to the rest of the construction, but set it to not be a part of the bom list
  • change your detailstyle (had to be now for MP but could be labeled as SP) for show this beam only as systemline

The dimension could maybe realized by using "Object TOP" or "Top EXtreme" (not tested):

@Sebastian_Eiche thanks for the tip, but I didn't quite understand the steps you indicated, I could explain the procedure better
