Selecting Large Quantities of PMI Associated Objects

Selecting Large Quantities of PMI Associated Objects

Selecting Large Quantities of PMI Associated Objects

(OP)
Can anyone recommend an efficient way to multi-select large quantities of objects to be associated to PMI? For instance, I have large circular bolted flanges with hundreds of holes through them. I need to associate all of those to my hole dimension (and angular spacing dimension, and bolt circle diameter dimension), and I'd like to not have to select each hole individually. I have tried selecting the hole pattern from the PNT, but to no avail. Also, it seems that the object selection filter options are greatly reduced when selecting objects to be associated to PMI (i.e. "Feature" and "Feature Face" are not filter options).

Also, is there a way to "inherit" or copy the associated objects from one piece of PMI to another?

Thanks,
Jason
