Showing 2D centrelines VIEWBASE view of 3D model

Is it possible to display centrelines created in model space in a view created using viewbase? The snips I have attached show my problem. The black background image is from model space showing a node at a tubular instersection. The dark blue centrelines are always drawn first to help me set out the framework. When I create the manufacturing drawing in paper space it is sometimes useful to show the centrelines. However when I create a view using VIEWBASE only the 3d solids are considered and displayed. I do not want to have to draw teh centrelines in every view and detail view as this will take an age and will have to be manually corrected in every view each time there is change. Any help much appreciated.

I think you hit upon the crux of your problem: "...only the 3D solids are considered and displayed."

Any ideas how to get around this?

None that would be easy and quick.

i suppose drawing them in paper space is easy and quick, just cumbersome and non associative

I don't see that you have any other choice at the moment. If I think of another option I'll come back and post it.

 

You're gonna need a bigger bottle of aspirin.

 

Good luck.

sometimes i wish i had just stuck with LT for all manufacturing drawings as they are always in 2D and LT copes fine with that. we have invested in Inventor and acad/acadm but i really cannot see any advantages when producing manufacturing drawings - other than an associative link to a model. i am sure inventor could be of use but i cannot afford the 10 years learning curve - so it sits on our pc's using up disk space

With LT you would be confined to the 2D world.

 

For a long time AutoCAD user I suspect the learning curve would be a little longer (re: old habits) but it should not be an obstacle to learning the program if it meets your requirements. Maybe you need to look at something different if you are doing structural drawings.
