Machinery Library Pins and Reusable Pockets

I am working in NX 9.0.2.5. Until upgrading to NX 9, my company used a different hardware library, so I am not real experienced in the NX Machinery Library. I have the ANSI Inch and DIN libraries installed.

I am placing pins (Dowel Pin in the ANSI Inch library and Parallel Pin in the DIN library) and I would like them to create an ISO fit hole in my components when I place them. Any hole would be a good start, however when I place them, if I select Create Pocket from the Add Reusable Component dialog box, I get an error saying "Failed to create pocket for the reusable component". My only option is to select Edit Pocket and then do a subtract Boolean operation, which really doesn't fit my purpose.

Does anyone know how to have pins create an ISO fit hole, or if there is a series of pins in the machinery library that does create one?

Thanks,

Matt
