2 Respond to the prompts as follows:
Enter shaft component name <Shaft1>: Press ENTER
Specify starting point or select center line:
Enter 150,150, press ENTER
Specify centerline endpoint: Enter 240,150, press ENTER
NOTE The start and endpoints of the centerline are only important in
determining the direction. The length of the centerline is automatically
adapted to the length of the shaft.
3 In the Shaft Generator dialog box, click Options.
