How to make two different types of center marks on one drawing?

[Xiao16]

I am very new to Inventor. I knew how to make center marks on the drawing. However, sometimes holes are different, which require different types of center marks. 

I tried to change the center mark style, but it would change all the center marks on the drawings. How could I do if I only want to change only one or few center marks on the drawing?

Hi @Xiao16,

The centre mark just shows the centre of the hole.

What additional info are you trying to show?

Often that info can be shown in either dimensions, annotations and tools such as the hole table, see below

What I was trying to figure out was how to change the center mark on the left bottom one on your drawing. I'd like to change the center mark to smaller. 

I'd like to change the A dimension on figure one to make two different center makes like figure two

You will need to create another Center Mark style or two, then select the one you want from the drop-down Style menu (Annotations tab).

If you can't figure it out, let us know, someone will give more details.

I created two styles, but I didnt know how to apply one style on one center mark

In the drawing, select the center mark which you want to change, then find the style drop-down menu and choose the correct style.

Oh, thank you very much! I didn't know there was a drop-down menu. I just found it.
