PCDs in drawings

PCDs in drawings

(OP)
I'm 3 months into teaching myself Wildfire 2.
Can someone tell me how I get the a PCD centreline to show on the drawing?

For example I want to model 3 holes M3 equi-spaced on a 30mm PCD, I would:
  • Insert an M3 hole, placement is diameter using a datum axis and datum plane to define the position
  • Create a circular array, using the reference axis as the datum, with 3 features.
That gives me all the dimensions and centrelines of the holes but no pcd centreline, what am I missing?

Thanks in advance

Drawing option radial_pattern_axis_circle yes

Set the drawing option, still no joy. I'm working on the theory that it would appear using View "Show / Erase" and Axis?

RE: PCDs in drawings

Correct

Hmm, nothing I need to set when I'm creating the array?
