Adding a line in drafting NX7.5

Adding a line in drafting NX7.5

(OP)
I have projection in drawing. Two circles and its center lines.

I have to add a line center to center. How I can do it (to locate ends of line exatly in the centers of the circles)?

Thanks

RE: Adding a line in drafting NX7.5

One easy way is to create centermarks. Start the centermark command, select one circle then, before clicking ok/apply, select the other circle. Two centermarks will be created with a centerline between them.

Thanks. it works.
But if i wish to add "external LINE" center to center how i can do that. Later i can convert that line to different style (like center line).

Thanks again

RE: Adding a line in drafting NX7.5

Right click the view and choose "active sketch view". You will then be able to create a sketch line from center to center.

so helpful
thanks
one more question

R30 (radius dimension of an arc) is shown as
+ R30----->

I want as: +-----R30---->
I cannot see this setup neither in Utility-cust.def
Thanks

RE: Adding a line in drafting NX7.5

To get what I think you're asking for, go to...

Insert -> Dimension -> Radius to Center...

...and while you're placing the dimension, press MB3, select 'Style', select the 'Dimensions' tab and then change the Placement option from 'Automatic Placement' to 'Manual Placement' so that you can force the exact location of the dimension text relative to the dimension lines (the arrow from the arc center).
