RE: Regarding Drafting

Two way's

1 - You can switch off (dimension settings) the arrow and dimension line from the side you don't want to see (horizontal and vertical dimensions)
2 - With the cylindrical dimensions when you pick the centerline first and then the cylindrical edge it will show the real dimension (it actually doubles the radius)

But 3d centerline is not displaying for revolved section:(

RE: Regarding Drafting

So add it in there. It's a Utility Symbol. If you want them to display automatically when views are placed, you'll have to edit your Drafting Preferences and/or Customer Defaults.
