Measure centre of bolt holes

[prgnti]

Why is it not possible to measure to the centre of bolt holes in Revit 2019? Seems like a basic function to me. Or am I missing something? See attached screencast.

I am aware that there's no problem with measuring to centre of bolts. I would like to measure to centre of bolt holes.

Its does not seem possible even after switching to wireframe mode

Hi guys,

At the present moment Hole Centers and Shear Stud centers can't be dimensioned. We are working to enable this in a future version. 

The Help Documentation contains several limitations on Tags and Dimensions.

Any update on this? It's kind of annoying using drafting workarounds on something where you can actually see when hovering over a hole, you can dimension the diameter or radius, but not the actual setout.

to add dimension to hole center, just draw a short line (those lines can snap to the arc of the holes) and snap to your newly added line instead.

You mean use the annoying drafting workaround I was specifically not wanting to do?

[SimonWhitbread]

not this year then? 🙂

I had totally forgot about this post 🙂 This problem was solved in Revit 2022 or 2023 but thank you so much for your sugested solutions.

And so, what's the solution? Wireframe style display?

Thanks

FYI its 2024 and we're still waiting.....Autodesk can you make actully fix all of these ongoing issues rather than the answer being 'that can easily be done with Dynamo'

No, you just have to snap to the hole centre. A small blue dot appears, click and you're done. Any visual style will do.
