Centerlines in drawings
Centerlines in drawings
(OP)
How do I create centerlines in drawings for holes? I know how to make centermarks, but not centerlines.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Centerlines in drawings
Under insert; annotations; centerline, or by picking the centerline icon on the annotation toolbar. You can create centerlines by picking two parallel lines. This will put a centerline between the two lines you pick. When the centerline is there you can select it and drag the ends as far as you would like.

Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

RE: Centerlines in drawings
In your 2D drawing add a layer called Centre with line type set to Centre and a designated colour (similar approach to AutoCAD). Make this layer active. Draw a line using the sketch line icon tool (or Tools/sketch entities/line).
I recall doing this when I used SW2001+. My drawing templates are set up this way and I have successfully used this approach ever since, including SW2005, when I require centrelines.
