Dimensioning
(OP)
Hi,
I am new to ProE. I have 2 arcs and want to dimension the distance between them . The problem is i do not have the centerline passing through the center of those arc. I made a line passing through the center of the arc and set it as centerline but when i move the view that line does not move with the view. Can someone tell me the right way to do it. I also do not have centerline in 3-D model and i do not have permission to change anything in 3-D model.

I do not have a centerline. please See the attached file.I also do not have a centerline in the 3-D model. Is there any way to make a centerline in 2-D model

onlyforyou,
Try this:
1. Create a dimension between the centres of the two arcs.
Use the "center" dim option.
2. Create a cosmetic centreline or centrelines in your drawing.
Use the arc geometry as snap references.
3. Move the created dimension so that it appears to be coming off of the centreline.
4. Relate the cosmetic centrelines using the "relate view" option.
This will allow you to move the views and have the centrelines move with them.
Best of luck.
Cheers,
JW
