    Sketching in drafting

    I am using NX7.5. I have view that I only need to use part of on a drawing. I can use view boundry to shrink the view to show what I want, but I need to sketch a couple of arcs in to indicate rotation of the parts, of the assembly, in the view. The sketched line needs to be symetrical, when...
