Solid Edge Automatic centerline not working as expected

Summary


Details

Automatic centerline command is not working as expected.  Features in the draft views are not having automatic centerlines created as expected and the following message is displayed:

"Cannot create center lines or center marks in the selected drawing view.  Click on a different view or modify the values  in the Center Lines and Center Mark Options dialog."

Solution

This is working as designed.  Automatic Centerlines only works on hole and slot features:

As there are no hole or slot features in the view then there is nothing to apply an automatic centerline to, hence the message the user receives.  

If the user were to place a hole feature in the part then this would work as expected.
