Need to show axis on hex-shaped holes, and slots

Need to show axis on hex-shaped holes, and slots

Need to show axis on hex-shaped holes, and slots

(OP)
In Pro-E, I made a bunch of UDFs (user-defined features) of shapes that contained axis, for dimensioning purposes. I have not found a way in Solidworks to do this.
Basically, I want to automatically have an axis at the center of the hex shaped hole, or the oblong slot.
Any tricks to this?

RE: Need to show axis on hex-shaped holes, and slots

Have you looked into Library features to see if they will suit your needs?

RE: Need to show axis on hex-shaped holes, and slots

Create the Hex Hole or Slot feature, create an axis using the sketch feature & the face the feature is created in.
Drag the feature & axis into a Design library > Features > folder of choice.

It sometimes takes a while for the Library Feature manager to open (on my systems anyway), so be patient.
