Centre lines on ellipses

    Hi all,
    I have a block with angled holes drilled in from one face. These holes
    obviously produces an ellipse where they break out of the block. SW
    doesn't automatically create centrelines on these and won't let me
    manually add cl's to them. Anyone know of a workaround? The ellipse
    does has a centre point that you can pick up on to dimension to.
    Regards,
    David

    Someone else might know for sure, but I suspect that putting a "cross hairs"
    type centre mark on a hole implies that you are viewing it as a true
    arc/circle.

    If it is in fact an ellipse in a particular view, then it probably shouldn't
    have a centre mark.

    First, make sure you are in the appropriate view. Then just draw in
    centerlines manually.
