Centerlines for Curves in Drawings

Centerlines for Curves in Drawings

Currently it isn't possible to use the Centerline command to draw a centerline between two curves. 

If I have a drawing for a formed wire like the one below, I need to dimension the centerline of the curve, not the outer or inner radius.

Just to clarify, this is for radii with the same centerpoint.

Has anybody got an update for this?

 

Couldn't find it on the drawing roadmap, but definitely a feature that Fusion needs!

@Anonymous this is captured on the Roadmap under Centerlines > Point to Point and is estimated to get started later this year.

Why on EARTH hasn't this been implemented? It's one of the most BASIC things you could ever need to do, it seems that this should be an extension of the centre line tool.

 

I'm guessing it's withheld to ensure Autodesk make maximum profit!!

Please add this feature at the earliest! Its a must have!

EDIT:-

 

If you create the solid model using a 2D Scetch, for example lofting a tube or similar on a path, you can right click and create the sketch as normal construction, and/or when you create drawing make sure that the browser is expanded to show sketches and turn the sketch lightbulb on, you should then have a CL on the tube, rid or wire with a curve.

 

Its pretty awful from a thought process point of view but it does work, obviously we would still prefer the option to create a CL on a curve.

Attaching dimensions to any centerline would be really useful!

@colinNJB25 - you can attach dimensions to centerlines today in the Drawings workspace... are you having trouble with this functionality?

@TimeraAutodesk I am. I don't want to hijack this thread. I'll start a new one in Design, Validate...
