Drawing an arc in centerline linetype

Drawing an arc in centerline linetype

Hi,
I have a part that has a groove in the shape of an arc (see screenshot below).
In the drawing of this part, I would like to draw an arc to show the 'middle line' of the groove. This arc should be in the 'centerline' linetype so --- . --- . --- .
Similar to the centerline drawn in the 2nd straight groove.

In the drawing screenshot below, the red arc is what I want, drawn in centerline.
How can I best do this?

PS. I am using Creo 4.0  (on Windows 10).

I normally create a sketch in the model.  After completing the sketch, you can select the arc, RMB and select properties from the menu.  From here you can change the color and line font or select a predefined font and select Apply.


There is always more to learn in Creo.

You are in the wrong forum.

 

PTC has two CAD systems:    Creo+ and Creo Parametric    and     Creo Elements Direct.

 

Which makes it confusing.

 

More, for Creo Elements Direct:

- The 3D software name is Modeling, and

- The 2D software name is Drafting.

 

For Creo+ and Creo Parametric, use only this tab:

Brilliant! That did the trick!

Yes, always more to learn. And often more than one way to skin a cat ... 😃
Thank you very much for your help!
