    Its an engineering drawing and has an array of circles around 1 circle I understand the PCD means an array (i think) I just wanted to know what PCD stood for.

    Pitch Circle Diameter

    The diameter that the array of holes is centred on.

    as already stated the PCD is the pitch cicle diameter and refers to the size of the circle that the holes (or what ever) are arrayed around normally the text would specify how many holes what diameter they are and what the pcd is, ie 6 off dia 10mm holes equispaced on a PCD of 200mm.
