Hi

I've drawn a shape constrained within a rectangle made from
construction lines within sketcher. How do I show the construction
lines on the drawing?

Thanks

As far as I know the purpose, and benefit, of construction lines is that
they won't show on a part or drawing. If I need to show something like that
I make a separate feature using datum curves. You can always change the line
type of the curves on the drawing. You can sketch lines on the drawing but
it's easier to update if it's in the part.

Geoff, if you really need to see the construction lines, you could create a datum sketch and show that on the drawing.

Hope this helps, Glenn |B)

Thanks for your suggestions, I will convert the construction lines to
datum curves then see what happens.
