I've never asked the question, but always wondered about this: why is it that when I stretch the ends of a center mark, it doesn't just create those dashes on the fly (without me having to right-click on it and eyeballing them in there)? Is there a setting I'm overlooking?</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="mluterman_0-1757953315012.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1570997i7EDD4454346F3176/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="mluterman_0-1757953315012.png" alt="mluterman_0-1757953315012.png" /></span></P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="mluterman_1-1757953358334.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1570998i36DDE46AF7893EFC/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="mluterman_1-1757953358334.png" alt="mluterman_1-1757953358334.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 15 Sep 2025 17:42:46 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/stretching-center-marks-adding-dashes/m-p/13811362#M400667 mluterman 2025-09-15T17:42:46Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/stretching-center-marks-adding-dashes/m-p/13811610#M400688 <P>I agree!&nbsp; However, for the situation you show above, the Centerline tool does a nice job of placing dashes:</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="SBix26_0-1757967161162.png" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1571036iBA07CCA691806648/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="SBix26_0-1757967161162.png" alt="SBix26_0-1757967161162.png" /></span></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>As long as you have something to connect the other end of the centerline to, you can just apply it on top of an existing centermark, too.</P> <HR /> <P style="font-size: 14px;"><STRONG>Sam B</STRONG></P> <P style="font-size: 11px;">Inventor Pro 2026.1.1 | Windows 11 Home 24H2<BR /><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="autodesk-expert-elite-member-logo-1line-rgb-black.png" style="width: 200px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/962943iDF6D27C26CA3B56D/image-size/small?v=v2&amp;px=200" role="button" title="autodesk-expert-elite-member-logo-1line-rgb-black.png" alt="autodesk-expert-elite-member-logo-1line-rgb-black.png" /></span></P> Mon, 15 Sep 2025 20:16:37 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/stretching-center-marks-adding-dashes/m-p/13811610#M400688 SBix26 2025-09-15T20:16:37Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/stretching-center-marks-adding-dashes/m-p/13811620#M400692 <P>That's phenominal!
