Solved: Pro/E Drawing module - annotations?

David_M · ‎Feb 21, 2012

Can anyone tell me how to add centre marks and centre lines in drawing mode?

Also, is it possible to make a note with more than one leader, and if so how is this done?

I'm on WF5 but could do it in Creo 1.0 if I had to.

Thanks

You could sketch a centerline, but don't bother. Instead, use axis datums as centerlines. Any axis on the model can be shown as a centerline in the drawing.

Go to Show Model Annotations, select the far right tab in the dialog box, then select the view you want centerlines in, pick the axis you want to show, and apply.

For multiple leader notes, press CTRL while you select multiple objects in the drawing.

Bonus: if you want extruded arcs to automatically have datum axis through their centers, then set the config option, show_axes_for_extr_arcs to yes.
