Bolt Circle Centered Pattern

[Anonymous]

 I have a drawing of a bolt circle that I am adding center marks to using the centered pattern, but I cant make a consistently dashed circle for the bolt circle. There is either a large gap in the arc between two of the bolt holes or there is a solid line between them.

This image might clarify the exact problem. Left one is where I clicked on the first circle again, right one I did not.

Can you attach your files here?

I am not totally sure that it is what are you looking for.

admaiora, when I follow what you do in the .gif, I get the left circle (this is the same image as before).

 

I have attached the part that has the issue. When I was making the dwg, I noticed that the issue only comes up when the scale is less than 1/3, but there is no way I can have it at larger scale.

Hi Bloom,

try this (see attached)

Just edited the center style. It couldn't resolve the circle segments with anterior measures.

Changing the style kind of works. It put blank spaces in the top of the circle(where the first and last holes clicked are) but it doesn't match the other areas, and it makes the center mark for the bolt holes look bad.

This solution will work but its really not that great. If there is something that could be done without changing the center mark style, that would probably be much better.

admaiora, thank you for trying to help me, I really do appreciate it.

If you use Center mark ISO standard default you will have no problems.

Can you attach sample files?

Oops, I see that you did.  Back in a few minutes.

Is the attached more like what you are after?

I set the mark and extention to 1.5mm, and the gap and overshoot to 1mm(following what JDMather did) and it looks ok. Again, not a perfect solution, but I think this will be the best way until Autodesk makes the option to add an actual full circle and not just an arc with both ends that happen to touch.

Thank you so much JDMather and admaiora for your help.
