Automated Centerlines Reference

What's New: 2021

Default centerline behavior is defined in Tools tab Options panel Document Settings. On the Drawing tab of the Document Settings dialog box, click Default Automated Centerlines .

To configure centerlines for an individual view: On the ribbon, click Annotate tab Symbols ribbon panel Automated Centerlines , and select one or more views.

Apply To

Selects the features to which automated centerlines are added.

Adds centerlines to patterns of features.

Adds centerlines to sketch geometry.

Projection

Adds center marks to circular features with axes normal to the view plane.

Adds centerlines to circular features with axes parallel to the view plane.

Work Features

Only visible user-defined work features in the top-level model are recovered. To recover additional work features, use Include Work Features to recover work features in the view, or Include to recover a specific work feature.

Radius Threshold

Sets the limits for automated centerlines on fillet, arc, and circular features. Centerlines are not added to features that fall outside the specified threshold.

Fillet sets threshold for applying automated centerlines to fillet features. Enter the minimum and maximum radii.

Circular Edges sets the threshold for applying automated centerlines to arcs and circular features. Enter the minimum and maximum radii.

Precision sets the rounding precision for comparing the size of fillets, arcs, and circular features to the threshold. Click the arrow, and then select the precision.

Arc Angle Threshold

Angle Minimum sets the minimum angle for creating a center mark or centerline on circles, arcs, or ellipses.
