Hi All,

Somehow I am losing associativity for my centermark. See attachment.
Going to modelling, returning to drafting, update view: associativity is lost (not using master model concept atm).
Or, in drafting: Add centermark, update view: associativity is lost.

Searched the forum, no hints.
Tried the customer default settings, no clue.
Never run into this before. I am using the same "start part" as ever.
Anyone please?
Thanks in advance.

Just a guess; Maybe make sure that the centermark is associated to the solid edge (minor diameter) of the hole, and not the dashed circle (major diameter) that represent the threads.
 
I beleive this is fixed in 7.5.3. There is an issue where it loses the associativity if the curve relating to the thread is picked rather than the edge of the hole.
 
Thanks for the input guys. For the info: I am using 7.5.2.5

If the centermark is linked to "Arc-Center-Edge of Threaded hole", associativity is maintained.
If the centermark is linked to "Arc-Center-Arc (Solid silhouette Curve for a thread)", associativity is lost.
I guess I am not the first to notice, so I'll just wait for qrm 7.5.3. Meanwhile, it requires a lot of zooming in/out to select the "good edges"...

Thanks again
