Pattern Dimensioning

[KimBellingrath]

Here's one that has bugged me for years: As you have all learned in Drafting 101, the First hole in a pattern is the one that should have the diameter dimensioned, yet whenever I create a pattern and then 'show' dimensions in the drawing, the hole diameter and associated Geo Symbols attach to the second hole and can not be 'mod attached' to the first where they belong. Is this a setting or am I asking too much for this system to follow standard conventions?

Hello,

Without looking at this or trying to recreate, I have a feeling that you should actually pick the first hole from the pattern list e.g.

PATTERN (HOLES)
HOLES - PICK THIS ONE FOR SHOW AND ERASE
Cut id 100
Cut id 120

If this is what you are doing then maybe I'll have a look. What version are you running?
