How do I create a centerline on a hole or hole shape?

ken_abramczyk

I create a hole that goes thru a wall on a tube. How do I create a centerline of that hole that I can illustrate it and dimension to it in the drawing? In Solidworks you can create the centerline by selection the cylinder that is the hole, but I can't figure out how to do that in Onshape. This would seem to be a pretty basic function. The HELP system doesn't return any examples or information.

Thanks in advance.

This is a fine video, but it doesn't answer my question. It looks as though you cannot create a centerline on a hole unless you create a section view. Cumbersome, but does work to create a VISUAL centerline. Now, how do you select that centerline to display the anglular dimension? It doesn't look like the created centerline can be used for anything as it cannot be picked, nor can you pick it's end points or it's intersection with any other entities. Am I missing something?

Please look at my example file: 151211A-WEH. You will notice that the centerline is not on the hole anymore because I moved the geometry and the hole moved but the centerline did not. I manually created that centerline and dimension, but left it on the drawing to illustrate the problem.
