Hello folks,

I am experiencing difficulties with centerlines, or to be more precise; automatic centerlines.

Pretty much all our products here are cylindrical in shape, so I want solidworks to add centerlines automatically.

I looked around on the internet, and found that you need to turn this on in document properties:

Options>document properties>detailing>auto insert on view creation>centerlines

I have done this, but no succes. I used the following steps:

-I tried making your basic cilinder using a sketch, and then revolving the sketch around the centerline.

-Then "make drawing from part" option to start the 2d drawing.

-Use the standard template, and use the standard A4-iso template

-make sure I have turned the option to "auto insert on view creation>centerline" on

-then I insert some views from the standard view palette (does not matter which one, tried them all)

Solidworks refuses to show any sort of centerline.

I can click the centerline-button, and it will add the line just fine, but I want the centerline to be in there automatically!

Anybody have any thoughts on how to get this to work? I am probably missing something very obvious...

I am using solidworks 2014 sp2 with the latest drivers for a solidworks graphics cards

Many thanks in advance
