Is there a way to show a bolt circle and center marks on a circular hole pattern. See the image for reference.

The bolt circle can be made with the 3-point circle centerline tool by selecting the center of each bolt hole.
The angular locating lines can be created using the standard centerline tool. Just hover over the outside circle indicating the diameter of the part, until a centermark shows up. Then, select the resulting red circle to be the beginning of the line. Hover over one of the bolt circle holes then slowly move to the outside of that hole until you see a perpendicular constraint symbol and then click to be the other end of the line. This will create the lines you are looking for.

Seems like it could be a little easier, but I'll work with what I have.
