Macro for Placing CL text on line
Macro for Placing CL text on line
(OP)
Geetings to all.
A question was posed today that it would be nice to have a centerline symbol placed in the middle of our centerlines yet would be allowed to slide along the centerline if needed. Is there a macro or option that allows this. I have tried to add horizontal relations to the text and the line. SW does not accept my slelctions. Any clues or advice????
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you are correct, that is not the problem. I am trying to add a relation between the actual centerline on the drawing and the text with the centerline symbol.

RE: Macro for Placing CL text on line
(as if SolidWorks would do anything like move a note by itself for no reason
Try turning on the leader for the Note/Geo Tol/Surf Fin/Or any other annotation...
Attach the leader to a line...
Position the note where you want it to stay... (it helps to zoom in as far as you can, within reason, to get the right position)
Then Hide the leader...
This usually keeps the annotation from moving on it's own...
*Note: this is also the BEST way to move a note from one view to another...
Good Luck,

Activate the view and insert the text with that view activate and now the text is attached to that view.
I hope that helps,
