Define bolt circle dia in hole wizard
Define bolt circle dia in hole wizard
(OP)
I do lots of circular bolt patterns but have been unable to figure out how to define a bolt circle dia when positioning the 1st hole in a circular pattern. I usually define it from the center of the BC as a radius. How can I create it 1st time around as a diameter. Thanks.

Before going into the hole wizard, sketch a circle on the solid surface and check off the "For Construction" box.
Then go into the Hole Wizard and place the hole on the surfact. Put in a "coincident" constraint no the construction line and the hole center. If you want to put in an angular dimension from a plane, draw a centerline to the hole center then create the angular dimension.
That should do it.

This is a bit more work but in the end the hole feature(s) are defined as we require for manufacture.

That is how I generally do it.
