Sweeps & Centrelines

Hello,


I have created a simple sweep for a pipe manifold (looks like the lochness monsters back!). Anyway, how can I display the centreline of the sweep (i.e. the centre line of the pipe) so that I can reference it easily for other feature, and also to display the sweep trajectory in the drawing.


Thanks,


Lee
 
it is better to sketch the trajectory as external sketch from sweep feature in order to be able to hide/unhide everytime you want or change the type of it, i.e. to view it as a centerline or to use it as a reference for another feature
 
Thanks XCAD, I've created a sketched curve, and used that as the trajectory for the sweep instead. It seems to be what I was after.
