RE: Bolt Circle on a Drawing
You can create a datum curve in your model.
Change the linestyle in your drawing to match the drafting standard that you are using.
You can also rotate the the hole axii to match the BC.
Hope this helps.

RE: Bolt Circle on a Drawing
I start by making a sketch for locations of the holes for the extrude function. On the sketch I will use a circle to start for the BCD and right click to change it to a construction circle. Then add the holes as needed using the construction circle for their placement. Finish the sketch, make the extrusion and select cut. In drawing mode, show dimensions, make note of the id number (dxx) [either by switching dimensions or selecting the dimension properties] for the construction circle and add it to the actual hole dimension under properties in the text area/tab. You'll have real dimensions in your shown dimension on the drawing that will be editable.
The one negative of not using the hole funtion is that this method does not give the drill point cause your using extrude.
Hope this may help,
Mike

radial_pattern_axis_circle yes
Now when you create your hole, and pattern it, use the "radial" option, and when you show your axis on the drawing, it will automatically show the Bolt Circle along with the angled hole axis.
I don't know if this works in other versions.

RE: Bolt Circle on a Drawing
In your drawing, show all axis and the axis of the bolt circle will be shown. In addition, when you show dimensions for the holes, the diameter of the bolt circle will be shown and pointing the bolt circle axis.
I hope this helps.

Option 1 for Pro E:
Print drawings, add bolt circle centerlines by hand and scan image.
Option 2 for Pro E:
Use UG, SDRC, Auto(cough)Cad or SW.
Anything having to do with hole centerlines on a drawing is extra work. Also why does pro e break circle into 2 segments with no pickable centerpoint? Very weird.
Good luck
Clickin' like crazy in Pro E
