CENTERLINE — Centerline

Draws an associative centerline between two lines.

• Command: CENTERLINE · Global name: _CENTERLINE · Alias: CL
• Ribbon: Home › Draw

Draws a centerline between two lines, as in AutoCAD 2027: it runs along the bisector of the angle they form (or halfway, if they are parallel), between the ends of both, and extends CENTEREXE on each side. It is associative: if one of the lines changes, the centerline is rebuilt.

Usage

1. Enter CENTERLINE (alias CL) or click the button.
2. Select the first line.

Select first line or [Layer]:

3. Select the second line.

Select second line:

Options

• Layer: layer of the new centerlines (., the current one); it is the CENTERLAYER variable.

Enter layer name or select an object to specify the layer for center marks or . to use current [?/Exit] <"…">:

Notes

• It is saved as AutoCAD does: a reference to an anonymous block with the line, with the CENTERLTYPE linetype (CENTER2 if empty).
