Adding holes through the hole wizard not snapping

I download Solidworks 2015 last night and starting playing with it today and one thing that is bugging me but I am unsure what I am doing wrong or if it is the software. Holes in the hole wizard are not snapping to the centers of other holes I would like to use as a reference.

Step-by-step of what I am doing to get this to work......

I pull up the hole wizard, select the hole I wish to insert, click the position tab to place it on my part (editing a part in an assembly) I hover over a hole on another part to get the center snapping point, it appears and I place my hole, move to the next hole and I cannot get the snapping to work. If I go to the hole wizard and click the type tab then click the position tab I can get it to snap on another hole. I have to repeat this to get all the holes I want inserted in the part.

What am I doing wrong. It worked great in SW2014

Thanks

Jeremy

Good to know its a bug and not me, any eta on the SP1? Thats an annoying bug. Or any way around it?

Can you just place the holes close and then add a concentric relation afterwards?

The only workaround is to use the old method ... drop the points close to where they need to be, and then drag and drop them onto their final resting place.

Back a few years this was happening to me, I don't remember the version. All I did was drop the holes and drag them into 'coincident' placement. This may be necessary again. I don't have 2015 to test this.

Does anyone know if this bug has been fixed with SW2015 sp1.0? I note the first hole position snaps okay, but subsequent holes positions don't. I open the Add Relations dialog and select the point (after placing it nearby, but not too nearby, the point/line to which I want to snap it) and the line/point to which I wish to snap. Click Coincident, Check. It's tedious for a lot of holes.

Yes, it was fixed with SP1, and another bug was fixed with the latest SP1.1
