Description
The 2PointCenterLine tool adds a centerline between two Vertices (Points).
Centerline between 2 Points
Usage
- Select 2 Vertexes in a View.
- Press the
Add Centerline between 2 Points button
- A dialog will open where you can specify attributes of the new centerline.
- 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.
- Select a centerline.
- Press any centerline command button.
- A dialog will open where you can change attributes of the centerline.
- Press OK to see your changes.
Properties
Centerlines have no properties of their own, as they are no document objects. They have attributes that can be changed in the centerline edit dialog.
- Mode (radio buttons):
- Vertical: Forces a centerline vertical
- Horizontal: Forces a centerline horizontal
- Aligned: Follows the general direction of the Edge for 2 Edge centerline
- Shift Horiz: Moves the centerline left or right of its normal position
- Shift Vert: Moves the centerline up or down from its normal position
- Rotate: Rotates the centerline around its center (degrees. + counterclockwise, - clockwise)
- Extend: Makes the centerline longer by this amount
- Color: Color of centerline
- Weight: Thickness of the centerline
- Style:
Continuous,
Dash,
Dot,
DashDot,
DashDotDot
