lines between radius centres in drafting
lines between radius centres in drafting
(OP)
Hopefully this'll just be simple, I've already asked a question today and I don't want to bother people too much- I need to dimension from the centre line of a curved solid (a bracket that gets welded to a pipe).
this is what I basically need to see in drafting-

but I can't find a way to show the line that I've made- and there doesn't seem to be a method to make this line within the drafting application. If anybody could point me in the right direction I'd be grateful.
Thanks
Simon

Could you please share the part file (if acceptable to you) ? looks like the bend part is not that cylindrical.

To be totally honest- I don't know. When I was at uni there was nothing like this sort of thing, it was mostly just sketch-> extrude, over and over! - now I've started working with NX every day, these little things pop up and have totally thrown me. what I did do with the line, was format-reference sets-click model-click line. if there's a better way of doing this that you can easily describe I'd be happy- I've managed to get my line through Kapil's instruction, but it would obviously be god to be able to put other items into sketches etc when I fancied.
Kapil- thanks very much for that. I've not optimised my face before, but it seemed to work.
Thanks both
Simon
