Showing Centerlines

[boydt]

Just started working at a new place.....
I have made a bolt circle using a diameter to define it and patterned the holes. When I show the center lines on the drawing I am not getting the dashed circle centerline to show the bolt circle diameter that I have used for years. Is this a config setting?<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />

It's 2 things. You need to set the drawing option radial_pattern_axis_circle yes AND you need to make the pattern a dimensional pattern with a rotating orientation datum plane. An axis pattern won't cut it. Makes no sense but that's the way it is.

Perfect... Thanks


I changed the radial_pattern_axis_circle to yes like you said and it worked. This has always been the company default anywhere I have worked, here it was set to no.

Wait, how did you do that? In the ProE drawing mode, I click 'Tools' and open 'Options'... I only see 'radial_hole_linear_dim. I don't see 'radial_pattern_axis_circle'.


Help me out here.

It's a drawing .dtl option
