Bolt Circle Centerline

Bolt Circle Centerline

Bolt Circle Centerline

(OP)
Is it possible to make a semicircle "bolt circle centerline" in a drawing? The "Full circle" checkbox is not enough for me because i want to control the circle even more.

My other option was to sketch an arc and convert it to a referenceline but i cannot snap to anything in the view, maby because it is a exploded view? I also tried project curves but the projected curves ended up in the unexploded state.

RE: Bolt Circle Centerline


If you want a full circle after you have created the Partial Bolt circle.  Double click on the circle and then toggle on the full circle.  This will create the full bolt circle curve but the center markers will only be on the selected points.

Thanks, the "clockwise direction" did it!

RE: Bolt Circle Centerline

I meant to say "counter clockwise".

RE: Bolt Circle Centerline

Having worked for a British company for 14 years, we got used to calling it 'anti-clockwise' winky smile
