Enable/Disable Centermarks

When the centermarks are disabled hole centers and similar things can not be dimensioned. The centermarks are redndered as a little cross.

  • Select the view port (e.g. "Front")
  • In the property panel, 'View Tab set the value Arc Center Marks to true

Note in this tab are other settings for the view that might be useful.
