By default, the drawing manager hides the centerlines of tube, pipe, and hose routes in drawing views. Centerline recovery is used to control the availability of the route centerlines in active tube and pipe drawing views for dimensioning.
You can control the centerline recovery at the tube and pipe runs assembly, individual run, or individual route levels in the active drawing view. Base the control on your needs. For example, you can dimension all or most of the routes and runs in a tube and pipe assembly. Include route centerlines for the entire tube and pipe runs assembly, and then hide the centerlines for the individual runs and routes you do not need.
You must dimension routes to the centerlines in drawing views. Otherwise, the dimensions may be incorrect. When the specified route centerlines are recovered, you can dimension routes to the centerlines. If you change the centerline recovery back, all recovered centerlines in the active drawing views are deleted so associated dimensions may disappear or become incorrect.
Options panel Document Settings Drawing tab.In drawing views that are created from the base view, the route centerline visibility respects the setting in the base view. For example, if you have recovered route centerlines in the base view, the relevant route centerlines are automatically recovered in all associated drawing views that are subsequently created. When route centerlines are not recovered in the base view, you can manually recover them for drawing views you need.
