Creating a Centerline Cross at a Specified Point

Use the AM_CenterCross command to create a centerline cross at a specified point.

The command always aligns the cross with the CCS. To draw a centerline cross with a different angle, change the CCS accordingly.

To create a centerline cross at a point:

  1. Before starting, make sure the CCS has the suitable orientation.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • On the ribbon, click Home > Centerlines > Centerlines > Centerline cross.

    • Type AM_CenterCross.

  3. In the graphics area, specify a point. For example, you can specify the centerpoint of a circular entity.

    The command draws a centerline cross from the specified center point and extends it in all four directions as you move the cursor.

  4. Click a point to place the centerline cross or specify the diameter and press Enter.

Example:

You can use the AM_CenterCross command to place a centerline cross for a hole. In this case, you can click a point on the circle instead of specifying the diameter.

The centerline cross extends beyond the circle.
