Description
The TechDraw 2LineCenterLine tool adds a centerline between two edges.
Aligned centerline between two edges
Usage create
- Select two edges in a View. The edges should be more or less parallel.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the Add Centerline between 2 Lines button.
- Select the TechDraw → Add Lines → Add Centerline between 2 Lines option from the menu.
- A task panel opens. See TechDraw FaceCenterLine for more information.
- Press the OK button to confirm.
- A centerline is added between the selected edges.
Usage edit
Notes
- To delete a centerline select it and press Delete. introduced in version 1.0
