Create coincident constraint "on center" upon Section View creation in IDW

Create coincident constraint "on center" upon Section View creation in IDW

I'm not sure how many of you run into this, but here goes my idea....

 

We deal with pressure vessels so naturally our products are round. When you create a section view the sketch is projected so it knows if there is a center or not. As you all know, it will create either a vertical or horizontal constraint automatically when you create a Section view based off something round in the corresponding view. The issue is the section line is not symmetric on the part, or view. So it leads to sloppy lines IMO if not managed.

 

Attached is a short video capture showing the workflow we typically go through just so we have a nice symmetric section line representations. That's a lot of steps we constantly do just to keep things tidy.
