This statement is not true at least as far as SolidWorks is concerned. In drafting is there really no way to show a centerline for a radius? In Catia and Solidworks when you define a sketch and actually place dimensions on lines and arcs you can grab and move around the other geometry in relation to how you have these dimensioned.

Also check out the knowledge base at ptc.com. Some free tutorials are available at however most are for Creo and newer versions of Creo Elements/Pro.

This may be very different depending on the version of pro/e (or creo) you are using. They will change in value just not intent.Ĭenterlines for radii in drawings are shown by using 'show model annotations' then selecting the 'datums' option and picking which ones you want. Locking the dimensions will give you the functionality you are after however strong dimensions will not. This became our preferred path since the locked dimensions can get in the way of dynamic edits in Creo 1.0 which we use frequently. To increase the productivity of locking dimensions without the system automatically locking all modified dimensions, you can first create your dimensioning scheme then cntrl+click all other dimensions which you want to tie down and lock them all at once.
