Center Marks appearing 1/2" to the right of the Hole
Center Marks appearing 1/2" to the right of the Hole
(OP)
Has anyone ever had a problem with the center marks showing up off center of the holes? I have a drawing view (partial aligned view) of a part and when I try to insert center marks in my threaded holes, they show up about 1/2" to the right of the actual hole.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Does it happen on other computers?
Can you zip the drawing and file and post here?

I had this happen in earlier versions of SW. I am thinking mabe SW2006 or before.
What version and SP of SW are you using?

Key point in the post is the view is a partial aligned view.
Might be a bug with the aligned view.
What does your VAR say about the problem?

Maybe the center marks are somehow connecting to geometry behind the holes? Could be various reasons. As CBL suggested, if you can attach the files here we can see the issue.

It was a drawing made by a person no longer here so I don't know exactly how he made the view. The view was also rotated so maybe that had something to do with it.
If anyone is interested, I have uploaded the original "not fixed" file. I couldn't see anything wrong so I am interested in what you find.

one way round it seems to be to go to the model and perform some sort of significant feature (such as a cut extrude), then get rid of it, then go back to the drawing and update.
