Distances from centerline to radiuscenterpoint far of the drawing.

thomas_barstad_petersen

How can type the dimension from centerline or other known line, to a far of centerpoint from a radius.

I have 2 arcs intersecting and a centerline between them.
I can see the centerpoints, but i cant snap to them or define the distances to anything .

what to do ?

You mean this (44.61)?:

You need to wake up the center point by hovering your mouse on the arc itself. Then move to center and point will snap.

Not the best behavior with big radius like this.

I couldn't snap to center line either I used the center point of those R5 radius instead (point-to-point dimension).

Is it possible for you to share the document (or similar case) in public and post the link here?

Is this what you are after?



If yes, just use 'two points linear dimension' and select center point of left/right rounding and midpoint of arc. Then move mouse so that it will show vertical distance.

@bobminer
One would surely expect point to point dimension snapping intersection of two center lines or point to line dimension snapping center line.

The dimension I am looking for is from the center of a radius to a centerline.

I can see the centerpoint but not make a dimension from it.

yes that is what i am after..
how did you do it ?

Thanks alot... i am still not sure how I wake up the centerline ?
