Bug in Drawings when annotating?

[andrew.smithPWL2Q]

Yesterday, I noticed that the annotation feature didn't recognize a series of tapped holes that I had made...

If you have e.g. a number of tapped holes in a circle and all holes were made individually, when you use the "Hole and Thread Note" tool you get a label such as "5x M4x0.7 6H x 10/10" ... However, if I make one hole and use a circular pattern to arrange those holes in a circle, the "Hole and Thread Note" tool doesn't 'see' the duplicated holes and labels the original hole with something like "M4x0.7 6H x 10/10".

Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong?

Best regards,
Andrew

Without your model, not drawing, it is just a guess on the Forum users part.  In the video below you an see it works perfectly.  I will guess that you are not creating a Circular Pattern of the Tapped Hole feature, but you are creating a pattern of the body.  Attach your mode for a positive answer.  Open in Fusion, select File menu, then Export and save to your hard drive.  Attach it to a reply post.  My model is attached for you to test.

Thanks for your quick response. Here's a video of what I was describing. What am I doing wrong? I think patterning the finished hole is easier, since in the other method I have to click on each hole location, which can be cumbersome if there are more than six or ten....

Go back and look at your video and you will see you are patterning Faces and not Features.  Set your pattern type to Features, select the hole feature from the timeline and it should correct your problem.  You can look at my video closer for the process.

The devil is in the details! Thanks for pointing that out!
