How to create sketch lines from planes?
How to create sketch lines from planes?
(OP)
Sorry to ask a trivial one (not for me), but I am working on a sketch, and I need to create a centerline from a plane that intersects the sketch plane. How do you do it?

Exit sketch mode then pick the end point of the line and select a plane parallel to the plane you want. HTat will offset a plane at that distance... If you read the help on the planes you can figure out how to make planes... most people don't realize that sometimes it takes more sketching and planes before you get to the plane and location you want.

RE: How to create sketch lines from planes?
Draw a line anywhere on the sketch plane
Deselect the Line icon
The line should remain highlighted
Hold down the Ctrl key and select the intersecting plane
The Properties manager should appear
Select the Collinear option and click the tick
The line should now be aligned with the intersecting plane.
The Automatic Relations I mentioned will work if the view angle is perpendicular to the intersection plane. ie. so that the plane appears as a single line.
