Creating Axis Lines

You can create an axis line in the drawing to indicate the cylindrical features.

Before you begin: Open a drawing representation.
  1. From the Annotation section of the action bar, click Axis Line .
  2. Select two lines.


    The axis line is created.



    Important:
    • If needed, you can select two non-parallel lines that are not co-linear.
    • Both in the case of center lines and axis lines, a default overrun is created.
    • When creating an axis line in a Drafting context, a message is displayed if the axis line cannot be associative to the 3D.
    • In a Drafting context, you can create axis lines between symbolic fillet edges or fillet representation. Note that these axis lines will not be associative (a message will be displayed).
    • In a Drafting context, depending on the type of element selected, the axis line is sometimes created directly after you select a single element. If you are not satisfied with the axis line thus created, you can force the selection of a second element by pressing Ctrl prior to making your selection: you will then be able to select the first and then the second element.
    Tip: If you need to modify an axis line, see Modifying Center Lines or Axis Lines. Note that you can multi-select elements when modifying axis lines.
