Folded Centerline

[ewh]

I was just wondering if the ability to add folded centerlines, similar to folded radii, has been added to NX?
Or would this be a good candidate for a ER?

Can you please provide an example (manual drawing, hand sketch, whatever) showing what it is that you're looking for? Also, are there any drafting standards which supports this and if so how do they recommend that it appear on a drawing.

I don't know if it is in any industry standard, but my justification is that if you are using a folded radius dimension and have holes located normal to that radius, it would be good to visually indicate their orientaion relative to the radius center. This would be especially true if the hole centerlines were offset from the radius center.
In my example the centerlines are model entities, and I used two identically oriented views to show them in the drawing, connecting the centerlines with lines on the face of the drawing.

I'm not aware of anything like that.
