show centers and centerlines.
show centers and centerlines.
(OP)
Hello.
Where is the setting to always show the center of circles at sketches, and the centerlines of cylinders?
I mean without PMI, and outside the drafting, just while modelling.
In NX8.5 and NX6.

RE: show centers and centerlines.
Without using PMI or when not creating a Drawing, I'm not aware of how you would go about doing this.

RE: show centers and centerlines.
Although not sure but for the time being i presume your query is regarding Modeling environment. We hardly require these entities (centers or centerlines) for any downstream opeartion (measurement may be) as the selection options already enables that OOTB.In addition these extra entities may further clutter your working space and your part navigator too. Is there anything i am missing (any specific methodology of yours i am not aware of)? Do let us know.
Otherwise for centerlines for cylindrical bodies (or any revolved body) you can use EXTRACT VIRTUAL CURVE (it allows multiple selection also)

I understand your point that showing all lines could clutter the screen and in general is not needed.
