Ok, I've seen this 3 times this week and when I NEED to find it I'm just can't get back to it.

Can some one help?

TIA Again!

I assume you mean the automatic adding of Centerlines to Drawing views, correct?

If so, there are two place to look depending on whether you want to turn them ON/OFF for all future parts being created or just the current part which you're working on.

For the global setting affecting future drawings, go to...

File -> Utilities -> Customer Defaults -> Drafting -> View -> General(tab)

...and toggle ON/OFF the 'Centerlines' option.

For an existing drawing, go to...

Preferences -> View -> General(tab)

...and again toggle ON/OFF the 'Centerlines' option.

Of course, this means if you've created a series of Drawing Templates, you will have to open each of them, change this View Preference setting and save your template file so that it behaves the way you would like it to in the future.

Thanks John... looked there at least 10 times and missed it. I knew it was right under my nose!
