I have a plate with an a array of holes. The centre of the PCD is not in the centre of the plate. How do i display a centremark/line of this PCD. I can create centre marks to the holes and around the circumference of the PCD, which will allow me to dimension to the centre. But how do i display a centre mark?

select centred pattern...then select the centre of the pattern and finally the objects or features that are arrayed around the centrepoint.

In IV9 there is a drop down menu that reveals options within the centrepoint attributes.

terribly worded...I know...it's there somewhere.
 
Thanks for the reply.
Yes if you edit the view in question, under the options tab is a check box to dispay work features (ie the work axis of the hole pattern). This then displays a centre mark for the array in the drawing.
