No automatic bolt circle center lines using "Pattern Feature"

No automatic bolt circle center lines using "Pattern Feature"

No automatic bolt circle center lines using "Pattern Feature"

(OP)
I am working in NX8,5.
I am not able get automatic centerline for the bolt circles using "Pattern Feature" as a circular instance in NX8,5
It creates simple center lines
But when i was using previous version NX6 that the command was different "Instance Feature" there i use to get the automatic bolt circle center lines
Did is there any way of doing it in NX8,5 or no option.
Please answer.

RE: No automatic bolt circle center lines using "Pattern Feature"

Can you please explain exactly what you mean by "...i use to get the automatic bolt circle center lines" with the emphasis on the word "automatic"? Can you provide a picture of what the NX 6.0 results would have looked like versus what you're getting with NX 8.5?

When u do circular array for a hole on cylinder or on the circular plate, then you got to drafting and place the view the center lines coming automatically. but not the bolt circle center lines, it creates simple center marks for each hole.

RE: No automatic bolt circle center lines using "Pattern Feature"

Yes, I get the same thing, simple centerline symbols and not a bolt circle centerline, but it's always worked that way, even with NX 6.0. That was why I was asking the question in the way that I did.

So getting back to your claim about NX 6.0, if you actually were getting a true bolt circle centerline, how were you doing that? And if so, could you provide at least a picture of what that NX 6.0 result looked like?
