nocturne00 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 a bit vague, you want to place a centerline? you could just draw a centerline snapping it to the center of the circle. a mark is a group of lines that will be generated w/ respect to the center of the circle when you use centermark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papagyi Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Another way for center mark is you can choose point style according to(format menu..point style) or "ddptype" command.Then you can make your center mark with "point" command.

nocturne00 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 a centerline thru the circle line right? not the center mark. something like this? but which centerline? the yellow or the green one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aieux Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 I think that one of my problems was the scale, but also, how do I make sure that yellow center line is right in the center?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aieux Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 I think I got it, thankyou guys for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturne00 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 yes, check your line scale under properties, or just type LTSCALE to either increase or reduce it so the linetype will show. Ive not had many experience with using Solview, draw, etc but when making isometric projections, i cut and paste these projected views and paste them on UCS World so i could align them with respect to each other, using construction lines to make sure they're aligned with each other, at the same time i could align the center of a circle on front view, with same center on top view with a construction line(xline) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
