hi there
is there a way to add a line-circle-point to drafting views that has constrains with drafted lines?
for example i have a part like this
now i want to have a circle inside.like this
this circle should be tangent to inner walls but there is no way to add permanent constrains between this circle and inner walls.when i use this box
circle dose not fixed and moves around freely

Honestly, I've never had great luck with adding 2D geometry to the drawing and trying to constrain it to much of anything. Maybe there's a good way to do it, but I haven't found it yet. Would it make sense for you to model something on the 3D side (is the circle representing a sphere in the bolt/fitting you've modeled?) and use that to generate the drawing view you want? You can always hide the 3D object in other views and/or use overload properties to modify how it is shown in each view.
 
Have show "constraints option" and "create detected constraints" toggled on.
create circle
choose create "geometrical constraint"

Ignore the vertical fixed line, I didn't use it for anything.

If 3d model updates the circle updates to maintain constraints.

If a dimension is applied, you can choose it as a driving dimension

Stick. tnx but it seems overload properties only works for assembly and not for parts.(it was useful anyway)
rickyt this is exacly what i want to do can you tell me how you add constrains between 2D geometry and drawing because when i try i only get fix option(tangency cant be applied)
 
use the create geometrical constraints within the Geometry Modification toolbar.
