    Hi @Paulo_C - welcome to Onshape! The centermark tool only puts crosshairs at the center of the hole. If you want to extend them you have to use the 2 point centerline. Please create an improvement request to have an option to change this behaviour in the category on the right -->



    Imagining doing this for tens of holes!

    This is very important question from Paolo, and it should really be changed into an improvement request as this is something I am sure a lot of engineers would like. Haibing_Wang has a very good comment to this, and I totally agree

    I have also sent this question to the support and they answered that they are working on it ...

    The workaround is ok for a complete circle.
    It does not work properly for a partial circle, because the quarter circle points are not caught and it is difficult to place the line exactly.

    If I understand the request correctly, it would appear that this was released in the most recent update of Onshape last week.
