Show tube center line in 2-d drawings

Great whole community,

 

 got some 2d-drawings question. How to show tube center line in 2d-drawings, while View display - display style is set to NO HIDDEN? No hidden is desired style from my chief, so there is other possibility.

See attached picture for better image.

Some colleague told me, that l can reach it with Style field settings. But it is reseting everytime.

In my opinion this filed is used for copy style from some existing curve, but not sure about this.

Thanks in any advice about your praxis with showing tube centerline in drawings.

Not sure, but maybe changing these detail settings in your drawing that has the no-hidden line view?

hlr_for_datum_curves

hlr_for_pipe_solid_cl

 

problem is - that will affects all views in your drawing...

You can use the Use Edge command on the Sketch tab, change the line style, and hide the display of the curve in the model for those views. You may or may not have to associate the lines with the views.

Hi @Kevin

 

 thx for your tip, but it´s not a good solution. Use ege is not "parametric" solution. It means, if l change pipe dimmension the pipe centerline stay in the same postion all the time.

 

Regardless thx for you opinion

You can make the sketch parametric by selecting parametric sketch. You can also adjust the centerline as needed when changes are made on the drawing or you can make the changes to the geometry in the model.

Hi @pausob

 

looks like *.dtl config options hlr_for_datum_curves is what l´m looking for.

Yes, all curves are unhide in all views, but l can hide them via layers. Got a layer included all curves in start part.

 

Applaud for you...

Thanks and have a nice day
