To insert center marks into slots whenever you create drawing views for parts or assemblies:
  1. Click Options (Standard toolbar).
  2. Select the Document Properties tab.

  4. Select the Centerlines/Center Marks page, and select the slot center mark placement options.

To manually place a center mark in a slot, select Slot center mark for Options in the Center Mark PropertyManager.

  • Slot center location appears in the XLOC and YLOC columns.
