slddrw file-how do you add a relation of a point to a centerline?
(OP)
I'm trying to dimension a "theoretical" point on a centerline on a drawing, but I cant get the drawing point to "stick" to the centerline? I tryed adding a coincident relation to it, but the centerline refuses to be selected. Does anyone have any ideas? My dealer (who usually has instant correct answers)is currently working on it, but was stumped at first glance.

Also, you must make sure the view you want the sketch centerline and sketch point is active. If you put one on the sheet and one in a drawing view, you can't select both. Or one could be in another drawing as dyanmic drawing view activation can be tricky and switched views based on mouse position. Try locking the view focus in this case and put both entites in the same view.

Do that before you add the lines and points. Do not try to draw the ref point exactly where you want it, but off a bit. You may want to zoom very close to the site.
If you are trying to set the point to the midpoint of an existing line or arc you right click near the element to get the midpoint, then control click your point and add the relationship coincident or concentric, whichever works for you.
This is just some added detail to other responses.

It does sound like you may be into an issue of what mathematical "space" each of these entities exist in. it may not be logical for the program to handlea relationship between them.
If you centerline is, say a large one on a large dismaeter circle (a big dashed cross) and it happens to pass through, say another circle, I don't think you can do what you want. Those types of "center marks" are more of a fonted symbol be nature rather than true geometry as such. They have few, if any identifiable locations on them (I think just the center).
