I'm trying to add the pin to a hinge but when I try to create the circle in the center of the hole, the center mark isn't showing up. Why isn't this showing up?
Here is the link to the document.

That's a strange workflow you have there. Try to save the mirror for later. Anyway, it is the fillet that makes the trouble. But you're lucky, because in OS you can time travel. Just create the center before the fillet:

Hey Jonathan. You can also pick up the center from one of your previous sketches (Sketch 1). - Scotty
That's an odd workflow you are using… Are you following a Youtube tutorial of some sort? There are a lot of "dodgy" ones out there offering questionable advice for some reason.
This series might help:

Yeah I was following this one.
Thank you all for the responses. Seems like fillet is the culprit. I'm still new so I'm still learning the best workflow. Guess this can be marked as solved.
Here's a sheet metal version with a shorter feature list and holes instead of lofts. Not sure why you need a mate connecter there but you can sketch on the flat plane at end of roll. I made a mate connecter between faces to keep everything symmetric.

Yeah that's what I suspected… Lots of "poor practice" in this video, I would not use that to learn as it will teach you bad habits and/or convoluted ways of doing things…
