Hi Guys, I have a quick question 

how to get a centre mark on the circle like the one rounded with yellow colour?

I usually use automated centrelines to get these but some circles doesn't come up with centre mark like I wanted.

Thanks 

please refer the attached image

If it's a circle pattern, then use the "centerline" function and select all the holes.
After the third selection it should change to the circular shape, to close the shape you select the first hole again.

Hi! I think you are looking for Centered Pattern. Please take a look at this page.

Many thanks!

I don't think you can get an orientation of the individual center marks as you want. You can use either Centerline or Centered Pattern. In the first case you will end up with the long line between two circles and short segments, normal to that line.
In the second case you will end up with an arc, going through those circles. 
But if you really-really want to have just the Center Marks, aligned with the center of the flange - then a Sketch in a view might help. Just as it is shown in the attached image.
Cheers,

Igor.

Another workaround, close to what @IgorMir suggests might be creating a sketch with a line for the direction of the centermark you want and then using "align to edge"

(you can make the line "sketch only" after aligning the centermark, if you don't want it visible)
