Viewing the center line of a revoled pattern

[robertd]

Instead of creating a curve to show centerline of a revoled pattern. Their was a time it would appear by just doing a show centerline. Any help. I am using 2001

Not sure if this is what you mean but...



there is a config.pro setting to show the centerline of a bolt circle pattern. I don't have pro in front of me right now, otherwise I would give you the exact terminology

Thank You bem. Let me check the config settings.

Whoops my bad, so much for relying on my memory.



The actual setting is in drawing set up; go to (in drawing mode)



drawing>advanced> drawing set up



and look for the parameter : radial_pattern_axis_circle

under the axes group and set it to yes



then when you show/erase axes, if you have patterned a circular pattern the bolt circle center line shows up. works with either holes or cuts.



let me know if you want a file

Thanks Bem. I think I've got it. It appears that someone in proi admin. forgot about having to show these centerlines.

Anyway what do you do for a living? I'm working a contract at Lockheed Martin. In Colorado.
