Automatically add centre mark to projected hole geometries

[Halleffect24]

So I've got an assembly with several brackets on a plate. The bracket has mounting holes and I wish to use the edit part function to create a sketch and project my hole positions onto the plate behind. So I have my projected geometry but when I go to use the hole command I have to individually select each centre point to create the hole. Or when I create the sketch I would have to individually add centre points (cross mark). Either way that's a lot of mouse clicks. If there was a way to either automatically add centre points to circle geometry or a way to get the hole feature to automatically pick up the centre of projected circles for hole placement. Either option would be a time saver.

There could be some issues if it was done automatically, but here's a workaround that should speed things up for you:

In the sketch where you have projected your existing holes, do a box/window selection that selects all of your center points. In the "Format" section of the Sketch tab on the ribbon, select the "Center Point" toggle button. It will convert all the selected points from generic points to center points/marks the same as if you manually placed a point. Then when you finish the sketch and start the hole command, it will detect these points.

If you've ADDED points to an existing sketch in this same manner, from within editing the hole feature you can also do a window selection around the new points to grab all of them at once.

@gregory_nickol Thanks, that is a good workaround. It certainly speeds things up.
