Hi,

I'd like to know if there is any option to change Centerline style. I mean dotted, phantom, dashed, etc. in NX 7.5.

Thanks in advance.

When you say 'Centerline style' are you talking about the actual string of dots, dashes and spaces which make up a curve font or are we talking about something else?

If it's changing the line font itself, go to...

File -> Utilities -> Line Font...

...and when the dialog comes up enter a file name of your choice using the 3-letter file extension '.fdf'. When the next dialog comes up, select YES and you will now be given a series of dialogs, one after the other, to redefine the various line fonts including 'Centerline'. To learn more information about this go to the user Help files and search on 'Line Font File' and you will find more information about how to go about defining new NX line fonts.

Thanks in advance.

Im gonna try this solution.
I have noticed when I go to Preferences -> Annotation -> Symbols label -> Centerline, linestyle (dotted, etc) is disabled. And when I created only 1 centerline style is available.

Thnks again.
