SW2005 Symetric Relations in Drawings??

Using Sw2005 Sp0.1 here is my problem:

When im in a drawing, let's say I have a part that is a rectangle. I
then sketch a centerline across that view, and now I want to make
the sketched centerline symetric to both horizontal model edges. In
2004 I am able to do the following:

1. Click upper model edge
2. Control click sketched line
3. Control right click bottom model edge
4. Select Symetric from the pop-up menu

and the result is a symetric line that extends past the model edges
that can be used as a sketch for a section line.

In 2005 when I use the same procedure, I dont get the option for any
relation even when I click add relations on the pop-up menu. I am
finding that I now have to convert the model edges in order to use
them.

Is there an option I am missing, or has the ability to use model
edges for relations been removed?

Thanks for any help.

 

The first question I would have is why? You can use SW centerline
command to do all this automatically.

 

P.

I do the same thing as "SoCalMike" in drawings because the SW
centerline command is very limited. It's almost the same amt of clicks
to do it either way. The major difference, and the reason I don't use
SW centerline....You can't do anything with the cosmetic c/l that SW
adds.

I use my c'ls for a lot of different stuff in drawings and it's pain
because you can't relate anything to these c/l's. And you cant' cut
sections with them...

 

If this is broke, then that will be a problem when I eventually move to
SW2005. I use the same procedure here as well in SW2004...

 

I ran into this the other day. I found I had to actually click the "Add Relations" icon to get the relation window to
show up in the FMT. In '04 the window popped up automatically whenever an entity was selected.
Ahh yet another release of SolidAutoCAD.......
