How to find rotational center of the gear

I am having problems finding the center of the gear for a planetary gear as the pdf does not print the shaft. The cross hair is not the rotational center. Is there any way to pint the shaft on a planetary gear? See attached picture, it shows the gears the cross hair and its center as an object and its all different. I tried to print the shaft separately but the cross hairs dont line up between two prints, I will need some common reference to line up the gears.
Thanks
Kim

Hi Kim:
On the DXF output page is a button labelled "Shafting DXF", output that and it contains within in shaft holes for all gears including planetaries all overlayed for the entire assembly.
Thx
Art

Thanks Art,
That was a huge difference, Now the shape centers are perfect and no problem with the number of nodes either.
Thanks
Kim
