Automatic center mark/center line on sheet metal cuts

Automatic center mark/center line on sheet metal cuts

When I make a simple hole in a sheet metal part, it's much easier to sketch and dimension a circle then use the sheet metal "cut" tool to create a hole. Much easier than using the "hole" tool or the "punch" tool. Unfortuantely there isn't a sheet metal "cut" option in the "Automatic centerlines" tool so holes created in this method do NOT get automatic center marks. It seems like it would be an easy upgrade to have the "automatic centerlines" tool also include sheet metal cuts that were created from circles.

Hi.

Instead of draw a circle, draw a sketchpoint. Use this for the hole command. It is a less clicks to dimension a sketch point then a circle.

If i now understand yours post correctly.

It does work you just have to pick the right option in the Automated Centerlines.

 

 Try picking this option and it will work..
