Centre Line

[Anonymous]

You can see centre line with more gaps in the finished drawing. But it is not in my drawing. How to get it?

Hi fiatnm,

I opened your drawing and was able to produce a line with dashes by re-applying the centerline and stretching it to fit. I do not know what your original problem was. You can get a solid looking line like that from stretching out one of the center mark tendrils. I hope this helps.

Edit: Not sure about the center mark being solid. They have always been solid for me, even in circular patterns like that. I fiddled with it a bit. Sorry, not sure how you are supposed to get dashes there.

You can do as @Anonymous said ... however if you move the view the centerline doesn't move or change 

If you do it as I show in the video when you move the video it will change

You can notice this centre line also dash line. How to make it dash line?

I don't know ... at least a quick way that I would want my guys to do it.   There is probably a work around but...is it work all the effort for something that isn't that critical and more of aesthetics 

It could be a setting they had .... it could be because it was done in an older version and it was possible ...

In my opinion the original is not done correctly.

You want to right click on the centerline and click on add dashes. There's another tweak in that same context menu that evens the distribution of dashes out. There is a lot of goodies buried in the RMB!

After your advice, I reopened the particular file, what a surprise I saw solid line turned into line with dashes. I don’t know how it happened.

To me this looks more aesthetically pleasing.

Are you able to find out the reason from expertise?
