How to delete the extended centerlines?

[Thorped01]

How to delete the extended centerlines under the center point in this case... Actually I don't understand why they appear in first place, really stupid. 

If it exist some command that disables this function, please tell me!

I have a little off topic question also, how to make the constraints visible even after printing out the drawing?

I don't know that you can delete them, but if you right click them you can uncheck "extended" and they won't show.

[Thorped01]

No I can't uncheck "expanded" because it not exist... I run the same version as you.

I almost solved it in some way but i now I get this, even more stupid thing, how did the developers think when they created this function?

I place the start point in center point as everything else and when i'm close to the center of the hole the start point flips over to the other end... I cant remember that I had the same problem in 2012 version so maybe it's an option but a really stupid one to have as ordinary.

Attach your part and drawing file here - it doesn't look like something is being done correctly.

I started to work up an example, but since you already have an ......

Had one*  I closed the file a few seconds before I got you message, but I did a new one!

Going to need the part as well.

I would just set Defer Update (Tools>Document Settings>Drawing tab...)

I am going to suggest using the Centered Pattern tool to do this rather than creating a sketch - easier and looks much more aesthetically pleasing. I'll post example when I get a chance. And bonus - it gives the PCD.

[Thorped01]

Well, like this then... 

I think I need to accept this as a solution... 

If anyone wants to have the file to make own calipers, just ask me, I give it away for free...

You can adjust the centerpoints to make it "prettier".

It depends on if all the holes need to be dimensioned by angle and radius (or diameter).

Including model sketches might have been a way to do it, but right now the foundry is waiting for the depth dimensions and marketing has managed to get some orders but most of our customers still keep asking what it's for.

Given the state of some of the detailing tools I think Autodesk management must still think models are sent off to drafters working in 2D AutoCAD (or that we just export the models to a machine that spits out a finished product).
