How To Sketch a Bolt Hole Circle Pattern

Is there more of an automated way to sketch a bolt hole circle pattern?   I do this a lot and some systems have a menu that you select the b/c diameter and how many holes and if they are equally spaced.   I'm getting tired of manually sketching them.

Are you using Hole command for holes or are you using extruded circles?

 

You can circular pattern either sketch elements or placed features, but the most efficient technique (in terms of computations) is to pattern features.

 

File>Export and then Attach your *.f3d file here if you can't figure it out.
