Dimensioning a rectangular hole pattern

Hello,

I am teaching an entry level freshman college class using Creo 3.0.

I was teaching the pattern option for a simple plate and a 4 hole bolt pattern using the direction option in the patterning command.

I discovered that the dimensions between holes will not display on the drawing using "Show Model Annotations".

I changed the pattern option to dimension and this worked.

Am I missing something or is this usual for Creo? I'm at 4.0 M020.

In my previous life, I never got to make simple hole patterns.

 

Thank you,

Jay Crook.

They changed the way dimensions show in Creo 3. To get the pattern dimensions to show up, you have to select the pattern itself (not the hole) when in the show model annotations.
