Auto Center Marks for Circular patterns

[Anonymous]

It would be nice if we could add center marks to all holes in a circular pattern, without having to select all of them individually. I know you can use the centered pattern; however, you still have to select each hole individually, or the case below happens, where only the Holes you have actually selected have center marks. Being able to do a drag-to-select or select the circular pattern in the tree and auto apply center marks would be nice.

If you right click on the view and click 'automated center lines', a box will pop up and you can choose the circular pattern button and it creates all the center marks for you...It's a hidden gem!

Automated centerlines doesn't do well on many cases like patterned patterns so You get my vote anyway.

Dear All,

consider the behavior when holes are added or removed - currently we need to create all centerlines again with loss of all dimensions . So we'd love if add / remove holes will be supported for the "centered pattern center lines" to reduce the efforts for changing them in our designs.

Cheers,
