2 Right-click, and on the shortcut menu deactivate Centerlines on/off.
With the centerline of the pin turned off, only the centerline of the blind
hole is displayed.
Save your file.
Turning Off Centerlines in Configurations
If your drawing already contains holes with centerlines, and you want to add
standard parts, it is recommended to turn off the centerlines for standard parts
in the configuration. This avoids removing overlapped centerlines.
To turn off centerlines in the configuration
1 Open the Mechanical Options dialog box. On the command line, enter
AMOPTIONS.
2 On the AM:Standard Parts tab, clear the Draw Centerlines check box.
Click Apply, and then Click OK.
Hiding Construction Lines
For a better overview, you can hide the construction lines by turning them
off temporarily.
Zoom to the extents of the drawing.
To zoom to the extents
1 Zoom to the extents of the drawing. On the command line, enter ZOOM
2 Respond to the prompts as follows:
[All/Center/Dynamic/Extents/Previous/Scale/Window/Object] <real
time>: Enter E, press ENTER
To turn off C-lines
■ Start the Construction Line On/Off command. On the command line,
enter AMCLINEO.
All construction lines are turned off.
