Some parameters may not change the appearance of center lines created from work features.

| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| view | part | Represents the drawing view whose model contains the entity/entities with center line. |
| part1 | part | The first part containing the entity to make the center line relative to. It might be one of the following types: * Part occurrence. The entity name is specified in the 'entity1' parameter. Extra information is might contain in the intent1; * Intent Work axis (entity1, intent1 are ignored); * Intent Work plane normal to the view (entity1, intent1 are ignored). If work plane is not normal to the view, an Intent error is generated. |
| entity1 | string | The entity to attach center line to, within part1. Should be a name of the face, edge, work point, or work axis normal to view. |
| intent1 | any | Type of point ; possible keywords: :startPoint, :endPoint, :midPoint, :centerPoint, :circularLeftPoint, :circularRightPoint, :circularTopPoint, :circularBottomPoint. |
| part2 | part | Additional part containing the entity to make the center line relative to. It might be one of the following types: * Part occurrence. The entity name is specified in the 'entity2' parameter; * Intent Work axis (entity2, intent2 are ignored); * Intent Work plane normal to the view (entity2, intent2 are ignored). If the work plane is not normal to the view, an Intent error is generated. |
| entity2 | string | The entity to attach center line to, within part2. Should be a name of the face, edge, work point, or work axis normal to view. |
| intent2 | any | Type of dimension point, possible keywords: :startPoint, :endPoint, :midPoint, :centerPoint, :circularLeftPoint, :circularRightPoint, :circularTopPoint, :circularBottomPoint. |
| ClosestPoint1, ClosestPoint2 | point | Points used to select the correct drawing curve on the view. In case of several curves representing the entity, the one closest to the point is selected. Measure of closeness is a distance from the point to the center of the curve's bounding box. |
| closed? | boolean | If the center line is circular, the parameter disambiguates circles and arcs. |
| Visible? | boolean | Controls visibility of the center line. |
| layer | string | Name of the center line layer. |
| StartPoint | point | Changes the length of the start of the center line. |
| EndPoint | point | Changes the length of the end of the center line. |
| Style | string | Name of the style the center line is created with. |
| Name | Type | Description |

| Entities | list | Is formed from the parameter values. It might be one of the following forms: * {{part1, entityName1, intent1, closestpoint1},{part2, entityName2, intent2, closestpoint2}} * {{part1, entityName1, intent1, closestpoint1},{part2, entityName2, intent2, closestpoint2}[,{part3, entityName3, intent3, closestpoint3}] }. The third element is necessary for the circular center lines. By default, the parameter is formed from Part1, Part2, Entity1, Entity2, Intent1, Intent2, ClosestPoint1, ClosestPoint2. |
GetStartPoint( ) As PointReturns the start point of the center line.
GetEndPoint( ) As PointReturns the end point of the center line.
