Hi, I'm working from a clients drawing template.
I can't snap to any center marks. I have tried to make a sketch and project the point/lines I want to dimension to, and this also does not work.
Here is a screen shot of centered pattern I created, I'm trying to put in a angle dimension. Bit Inventor only gives me a vertical dimension.
This is what I want to show.
Could this be a setting in their template that I need to change?
Thank you
Post your file(s) please.

Hi! In Inventor, two points don't define an angle. You need two lines (sketch or centerline) passing through the center points.
Many thanks!
If I understand the original question, I believe the user is trying to select the lines of the centermark from the rotational pattern. This should work to dimension the angle between the lines of the centermarks. I must ask, however, are you selecting the actual line, or at the center of the circle where the two lines making up the centermark intersect?

Hi @CGBenner
Yes you are correct, it seems I cant snap to any lines or points of any center lines.
I have tried to draw in sketches and project the center marks, but it also doesn't want to snap to the sketches.
So I'm wondering if there is a setting that could have been set to prohibit me from snaping to these features?

Why you don't post an example file, so we can see what "center marks" you have?

I think I am tending to agree with others, can you share a part file and drawing that are giving you this trouble, so that we can take a look at it?
