NX6

I recently tried to instance a series hole using a circular array.
The hole doesnt even show up in the feature list. (NX6)I "grouped"
the hole and it shows up in the feature list, preforms the array; at least it shows up in Part Navigator, however the holes do not show up in the solids. Probably a boolean problem and just wanted to know if there has been an "official UG' answer to this.
Searched prior threads but did not find anything regarding the problem.

You may want to try using "Syncronous modeling" for this one.I am not sure why what you tried didn't work, but this is a good option.
Insert > Syncronous modeling > Reuse > copy face
If you have simple holes (no taps) it should work fine - but make sure you select all the faces of the holes (chamfers, stuff like that). It will be parametric.
 
Thanks Jerry for possible work around. I apparently this is a problem in NX6 with the series type hole. maybe fix is in NX7.5.3 ....
