  1. Select 2 Vertexes in a View.
  2. Press the Add Centerline between 2 Points button
  3. A dialog will open where you can specify attributes of the new centerline.
  4. A centerline will be added between the 2 selected Vertices.

To delete a Centerline, select it and use the toolbar button Remove Cosmetic Object.

Editing Centerlines

Any of the centerline command buttons ( Add Centerline to Face(s), Add Centerline between 2 Lines, Add Centerline between 2 Points) can be used to edit any centerline.

  1. Select a centerline.
  2. Press any centerline command button.
  3. A dialog will open where you can change attributes of the centerline.
  4. Press OK to see your changes.

    • Vertical: Forces a centerline vertical
    • Horizontal: Forces a centerline horizontal
    • Aligned: Follows the general direction of the Edge for 2 Edge centerline
  2. Shift Horiz: Moves the centerline left or right of its normal position
  3. Shift Vert: Moves the centerline up or down from its normal position
  4. Rotate: Rotates the centerline around its center (degrees. + counterclockwise, - clockwise)
