Hello out there.
Simple sm part with holes put in at flat status. (see part)
Within the flat pattern in the drawing I can not pick centers or quadrant points for dimensioning.
Any help? Thanks.

The flat pattern is not normal to any of the planes. One option is to create a view in the part that is normal to the face with the holes in it and then import this created view into the drawing.
Hello Tim,
alot of thanks for your answer. I tried w/ your idea and it does not work. I the uhf1 model now , if flattened, the upper flat surface is not only parallel to the top plane it is coincident with it. In sketch19 I can pick the circumferences of the circles and dimension them to one edge. But in the dwg. they are not circles anymore.

I can't explain exactly what's going on, but it appears that since your base flange was a radius, and a good way to make this part, that even though the holes were cut inside of an unfold/fold, they develop out as a spline in the flat.
But the good news is that you can still get there - just because you can't go the normal route doesn't mean you are hosed. In the flat pattern for the config in the drawing, also suppress the Fold feature - then the holes wil be circles.

Got it
Wayne and Tim,
to both of you many thanks.
Friend Chuck and I tried on "real" company parts and using that special configuration w/ suppresing the 'unfold' works.

Got it
