Centerlines on drawing views question
Centerlines on drawing views question
(OP)
When working with drawing views, does it make a difference in any way between the 2 different C/L buttons (one on the sketch toolbar & one on the annotations toolbar)? They have different button icons but it appreas they do the same thing. Is there a "correct" one to use for adding the C/L on drawing views?
Thanks in advance,

Problem #1 - If I create a vertical or horizontal break in the drawing view, I can not add the C/L where I want it. If I hover over a hole it will attach the C/L where the hole "used" to be before the break. If I add the C/L before I break the view, the C/L does come with.
Problem #2 - In addition, the C/L will only pick up the center of the hole if I use the one from the Sketch T/B.

#2, interesting. I have not used that one. It will not create a CL for me, it just picks the center point.

The Anno CL works in side profile of hole in a dwg view.
The Sketch CL will work anywhere else.
But yes, the CL will have to be inserted before a break.

RE: Centerlines on drawing views question
1. Add the C/L using the one from the sketch TB (if you want hole centers)
2. Then break the view (if applicable)
3. If you change something about the broken view and the C/L moves on you then right click the view and select unbreak.
4. Highlight the C/L so you can grab the endpoints and drag the the circle center again.
5. Right click the view and select break view again and the C/L is now associated with the hole center again.
Definately worth the ER. I have now sent one as well. If anyone elso would like to help get this fixed please chime in with an ER of your own for the same problem. Another good example for a sticky thread for just enhancement requests.
Thanks,
