Shorted a projected axis line in a sketch?

[timdown73]

I projected an origin axis line in my sketch and it's really long (because at the time I had some long geometry but no longer).  But now I'm stuck with this long projected line and as you can image "Zoom extents" zooms way out.  I've tried deleting the projected line but it causes a lot of problems in my sold bodies.  Is there a way to shorten it?

Same problem from way back in 05'...

Hi!

How to solve it:

edit the sketch

"Break Link" at the axis projection's line

Connect the center of the line with the center point, (and if not yet, put the line vertical or horizontal deppending the case)

put a dimension in the line as you wish.

and that's it, same line, same efect, different size

Thanks! I tried half of what you suggested before I posted the problem. I deleted the projection constraint but I didn't constrain the midpoint as you suggested. I only put a collinear to another line. Constraining the midpoint did the trick! Thanks again.
